"Dakar suspects that a number of the some 1,300 deaths — according to a Saudi tally — are down to a respiratory syndrome ailment such as COVID-19, Health Minister Ibrahima Sy said on Sunday.
"Initially, we thought it was related to heatwaves because the temperature was excessively high, but we realized that there is a respiratory syndrome with the cases of death," Sy said of the deaths during the hajj pilgrimage, which took place during intense heat."
"We told ourselves that, probably, there is a respiratory epidemic, and it was our duty to be able to monitor the pilgrims on their return by putting in place a screening system for everything COVID-19 related," said Sy in remarks carried by Senegalese broadcasters.
DJ, Would have to be a very agressive-fast-form of CoViD...or is MERS involved ? A new variant ? 

"Out of 124 rapid diagnostic tests, 78 proved positive for the COVID-19 virus, 36 of which were later confirmed by PCR tests, the ministry said. "

DJ, Out of 12,000 pilgrims from Senegal...My view-very likely may have been infected in Senegal before going to Mecca-or maybe on the travel to Mecca...

It may take a few days to get a positive test after infection...in general...
