KWANGOLAISES AND KWANGOLAISES,

I AM STAND BEFORE YOU TODAY TO INFORM YOU OF A HEALTH SITUATION AFFECTING OUR PROVINCE, IN THE TERRITORY OF KASONGO LUNDA.
THIS IS THE OUTBREAK THAT IS CAUSING DEATHS IN THE SO FAR UNIDENTIFIED PANZI HEALTH ZONE.

TODAY, AFTER A RIGOROUS EVALUATION, THE FINAL RESULTS OF THE INRB LABORATORY HAVE JUST CONFIRMED THAT IT IS THE FLU, CAUSED BY THE VIRUSES INFLUENZA AH1N1, HUMAN RHINOVIRUSES (HRV) AND SARS-COV-2 ASSOCIATED WITH MALARIA ON A GROUND OF MALNUTRITION, AN EPIDEMIC THAT I OFFICIALLY DECLARED.

THESE DISEASES ARE MANIFESTED BY FEVER, COUGH, RHINORRHEA, PHYSICAL ASTHENIA ASSOCIATED OR NOT WITH DYSPNEA, GENERALIZED ACHES, SORE THROAT AND MUSCLE PAIN.

COMPLICATIONS MADE OF SEVERE ANEMIA, RESPIRATORY AND METABOLIC DISORDERS CAN LEAD TO DEATH.
THEREFORE, IT IS RECOMMENDED THAT ANY PERSON SHOWING THE SIGNS AND SYMPTOMS MENTIONED ABOVE GO TO THE NEAREST HEALTH CARE FACILITY FOR CORRECT AND FREE CARE.

I SEIZE THIS OPPORTUNITY TO PRESENT, ON BEHALF OF THE KWANGO PROVINCIAL GOVERNMENT AND MY OWN, MY SINCERE CONDOLENCES TO ALL THE FAMILIES SUFFERED BY THIS EPIDEMIC!
THE RAPID AND WORRYING DEVELOPMENT OF THIS EPIDEMIC REQUIRES IMMEDIATE AND GENERAL MOBILIZATION.

TO THIS END, I ASK THE ENTIRE POPULATION TO RESPECT THE FOLLOWING MEASURES:
- WASH YOUR HANDS REGULARLY AND CORRECTLY WITH SOAP OR ZANDRE,
- WEAR A MASK (NOSE COVER);
- RESPECT PHYSICAL DISTANCING (AT LEAST 1 METER);
- DO NOT GREETING BY THE HAND;
- SLEEP EVERY NIGHT UNDER A MOSQUITO NET TREATED WITH INSECTICIDE;
- INITIATE FOOD SURVIVAL ACTIVITIES (LIVESTOCK, AGRICULTURE) AND PROMOTE SELF-CONSUMPTION.

BECAUSE THEY SAY, “PREVENTION IS BETTER THAN CURE”
➢ KWANGOLAISES AND KWANGOLAISES,
I WOULD LIKE TO REASSUR EACH AND EVERY ONE OF YOU THAT ALL NECESSARY MEASURES ARE BEING TAKEN TO SLOW DOWN THE SPREAD OF THE VIRUS.

LONG LIVE THE DEMOCRATIC REPUBLIC OF CONGO;

LONG LIVE KWANGO PROVINCE

THANK YOU
