In Madagascar Schools and hotels are being transformed into hospitals to contain the surge of coronavirus cases. Most likely, the spike is due to the South African variant. Hotels too are being used for the influx of patients as hospitals are full because of the large no. of cases.
Vaccine U-turn
The country joined the Covax programme just last week. Andry Rajoelina, Madagascar President, was against Covid vaccines and preferred a locally made herbal infusion as a cure.
But after this fierce number of cases the government took a U-turn and signed up for the worldwide Covax programme. “This is another way to protect the population.”
Herbal “cure”
The vaccination programme has yet to start out and therefore the government remains pushing its herbal infusion, which is predicated on the antimalarial plant artemisia. Dubbed Covid-Organics or CVO, it’s sold in drink and capsule form and has been cosmopolitan to citizens. Experts have cautioned against this, because it’s not scientifically tested.
