Senegalese society is far from getting rid of the coronavirus pandemic. This, even if a strong downward trend could be observed in the last few weeks.
While the Delta variant has almost disappeared in the country, a sub-variant called AY4.2 is currently in the sights of the WHO.
First appeared in Switzerland at the beginning of September, this sub-variant appears to be 10% more virulent than Delta, which first appeared in India last spring.
In addition, it has been detected in 27 countries and has infected 14,970 people worldwide, including 14,247 in the UK and 14 in France.
No case has been detected in Senegal for the time being, but the Dakar, which is on high alert, has increased surveillance for all variants of the coronavirus as well as for other diseases, Le Soleil said.
