Ces orientations vous proposent les principes et procédures de base en matière de décontamination de l'environnement physique dans le contexte de la pandémie du coronavirus 2019 (COVID-19). La contamination des surfaces et les risques de transmission des maladies diffèrent ...en fonction de l’environnement et le nombre de personnes fréquentant un endroit donné (par exemple, les établissements de santé, les transports publics et autres installations/lieux de travail rassemblant un grand nombre de personnes). Mais les principes de décontamination de l’environnement restent les mêmes. Etant donné que toutes les situations ne peuvent pas être couvertes ici, ces conseils peuvent être adaptés aux situations individuelles à mesure qu'elles se présentent. Ces orientations visent à fournir des indications sur la mise en œuvre de la décontamination environnementale dans la pratique et devraient être appliqués dans le cadre d’un programme planifié et doté de ressources [1], qui est pleinement intégré aux autres efforts de réponse à la COVID-19.

Compte tenu des lacunes en matière d'infrastructures et de ressources, il convient d'envisager de recourir à la technologie pour la gestion à distance des soins de santé dispensés aux patients pendant cette période. Comme on peut le constater, même les pays disposant d'infrastructures et de r...essources de soins de santé plus avancées ont eu du mal à traiter les patients atteints de COVID-19 ou non pendant cette pandémie.

Monkeypox is a rare viral zoonotic disease caused by a double stranded DNA virus that belongs to the Orthopoxvirus genus of the Poxviridae family.
n response to the outbreak, the Africa Centres for Disease Control and Prevention (Africa CDC) has been supporting African Union Member States in responding to the COVID-19 pandemic through a variety of interventions such as non-pharmaceutical interventions, quarantine, testing, isolation, contact t...racing, and clinical management. The Test to Treat guideline aims to increase continental testing efforts and reduce COVID-19 transmission in Africa and put-up response measures to control the impact of the virus, both to limit spread and to reduce substantially the risks of severe health outcomes related to COVID-19 infection. These countermeasures include highly effective vaccines and boosters, rapid testing options for monitoring exposure, and effective therapeutic options for both pre-exposure prevention and treatment of mild-to-moderate disease, oxygen therapy for moderate-severe disease, all of which can potentially be updated efficiently as new variants emerge that may affect the effectiveness of the available tools.

Since the emergence of COVID 19 in December 2019, various public health responses measures have been implemented to control the pandemic. Among measures taken by the Africa CDC was the launch of PACT initiative to accelerate COVID 19 testing. Key to the initiative is the engagement of Community Heal...th Workers (CHWs) in risk communication and community engagement (RCCE), surveillance activities for early case identification, contacts tracing and in facilitating referrals for testing and continuum of care.
As of 31 May 2021, Through PACT support, over 17154 CHWs have been trained and locally deployed in 24 AU Member states. The PACT supported CHWs visited more than 2,568,654 households for community engagement activities, active case search and contact tracing, identified 1,618,601 Contacts, 710,167 COVID 19 suspect cases based on the standard case definition and facilitated referrals for 553053 (78%) suspect cases for testing. These efforts were crucial for early identification and isolation of cases in limiting further transmission.
