At a press conference organized this Tuesday, August 18, 2020, the World Health Organization (WHO) warned against the spread of the new coronavirus among young people aged 20 to 40.
It is for this fact, explains the WHO, many affected people do not have symptoms, which increases the risk of transmission to vulnerable people.
“The epidemic is changing, the people aged 20, 30 and 40 are increasingly the vectors of the spread of the epidemic. Many of them do not know that they are infected. This increases the risk of transmission to the most vulnerable, “said Takeshi Kasai, WHO regional director for the Western Pacific, quoted by several press agencies.
In Tunisia the observation is the same. The director of the National Observatory for New and Emerging Diseases (ONMNE), Nissaf Ben Alaya, announced that 85% of people with coronavirus in Tunisia have no symptoms.
Yesterday Monday, August 17, the Ministry of Health announced in a press release a report of 78 new contaminations in the coronavirus, including 71 locals. In Tunisia, while the epidemiological situation becomes more and more worrying, governorates fall, one after the other!
Indeed, new local COVVI19 contamination cases were recorded on Monday in various regions of the country. At the governorate of Ben Arous, a nurse working in a private clinic in Ben Arous was contaminated at the COVVI-19, the director of preventive health at Ben Arous, Fathi Letaif said on Monday.
