Tunisian Prime Minister Hicham El Mechichi announced on Saturday that the ban on all meetings and the reduction of working hours for public sector employees to stop the rapid spread of the coronavirus.

“Modify the work schedule in administrations and public institutions by adopting the single quota system and the team system, and avoid all meetings and demonstrations due to the risks associated with infection with Covid-19,” said El- Mechichi, according to the Tunisian Africa News Agency.

In a speech announcing the latest measures to combat the virus, Al-Mashishi said that the figures related to the epidemiological situation in the country are not reassuring and require urgent action, stressing that there is no room for complacency and complacency.

Al-Meshishi added that he gave his orders to the governors of Tunisia to implement general isolation measures in their governorates if necessary, but indicated that:

“There is no way to return to the comprehensive quarantine system that was previously adopted to deal with the first wave of the emerging corona virus epidemic” across the country due to the unprecedented economic collapse resulting from these measures in March.

The decision was made amid serious concerns that Tunisian hospitals will not be able to accommodate large numbers of patients due to a shortage of intensive care beds.

The total number of coronavirus cases rose to more than 20,000, compared to nearly 1,000 before the country’s borders were reopened on June 27.
