From Tunisia to Cambodia, via Mauritius, the medical staff and specialists, interviewed by France 24, give their testimonies on the fight against the coronavirus pandemic.

Thus, according to Dr. Hadj Mabrouk Khaoula, doctor-coordinator, of the group of occupational medicine of the Governorate of Sousse, it remains difficult to enforce confinement in Tunisia, despite rapid measures taken by the government.

From Mauritius, Nicolas Ritter, Executive Director of Prevention, Information and Fight against AIDS (Pils), shares his concern because of diabetes which affects more than 25% of the Mauritian population. These people at risk may have a secondary infection if they are infected with Covid-19.

Finally, in Cambodia, where a little over a hundred cases have been recorded, Doctor Julie Thongsavane, doctor at the Procare Medical Center, indicates that the population largely respects barrier gestures, and in particular social distancing.
