The Oromo regional state began a door-to-door temperature scan on Monday as an additional preventive measure against the spread of the COVID 19 virus in the region.
The head of the social group in the region, Addis Arega, asked people living in the region to cooperate with health professionals who are deployed in the region, as reported by Ethiopian Broadcasting Corporation (EBC).
It is unclear how many health professionals are mobilized and deployed for the program.
This week, the Addis Ababa City Administration launched a similar initiative to scan nearly five million city residents as part of the prevention campaign. It intends to deploy around 1,200 healthcare professionals. Retired health professionals are called to provide services.
In northern Ethiopia, the Tigray regional said this week that it had mobilized some 23,000 health professionals for the door-to-door examination for the COVID 19 test. Those whose body temperature is higher than normal will be the center of attention. for possible insulation and sample tests. The regional state of Tigray also began two weeks of mandatory quarantine for those arriving at Alula Aba Nega airport.
The rest of the regions have not yet started a door-to-door temperature analysis.
As of April 13, the Ministry of Health has confirmed a total of 74 COVID cases 19 in the country, and 14 have fully recovered.
