The numbers are increasing. On July 22, in the early evening, the Ministry of Health Press briefing stated that there were 112 new contaminations. Dormitories are still the pool where the highest numbers of cases have been recorded. The concerned dormitories have been converted into quarantine centres.
90 cases were identified in a dormitory of another garment factory in Flacq. The building is currently under quarantine and the locality is under police surveillance to avoid any incident. This detection was following a massive screening that took place on that day. They were all asymptomatic and are all vaccinated employees. There are suspicions on the security guards of this factory; they have been in physical contact with these employees since they carry out a minimum of two searches of the effects of all the workers daily. Another 20 cases were detected in test centres and the other two during contact tracing exercises.
The police officers of the localities, the officers of the SSU and the SMF have been carrying out strict surveillance of the dormitories since Wednesday, July 22 with the decree of quarantine of the dormitory of the CMT of the Koenig Tower. The other dormitories in quarantine are those of Real Garments in Pointe-aux-Sables, Petite-Rivière and Coromandel and Princes Tuna in Baie-du-Tombeau, Roches-Noires, Notre Dame and Triolet.
