 As millions in Senegal prepared to mark the Muslim celebration of Eid al-Adha, health officials have warned that coronavirus cases are surging in the West African nation. Many in Senegal have relaxed their use of masks and other precautions after the country's early searches were not as severe as the outbreaks in other countries. In just weeks, new confirmed virus cases have risen from dozens a day to a record of 738 on Friday, according to the Ministry of Health. And more than 25% of 2,913 tests carried out in the past 24 hours came back positive. Faced with the dramatic increase, Senegal President Maki Sol and his cabinet have limited public gatherings and travel in an attempt to try and stop the spread of the virus. Now the government has also urged people to continue wearing masks and frequently sanitize. Hello, hope you enjoyed the news.
