As of 16 December, there have been 1,818 reported cases and 102 deaths in 17 provinces. Between 13 and 16 December, 48 new cases have been reported: all but two in N’Djamena (46), the rest in Mayo-Kebbi Est (2). The nineteen cases reported this week in N’Djamena are from prospective travelers, taking a required test in anticipation of their trips. In the Logone oriental province, where a cluster of cases had been detected in the refugee camps of Dosseye and Belom (Nya Pende department), all reported cases have now recovered according to UNHCR’s monitoring of the situation. Awareness-raising activities have been reinforced in the camps, while respecting barrier measures. While still urging caution, the Chadian Government has exceptionally decided to relax the current curfew across the country on Christmas eve (the night of 24 December), allowing movement that evening until 1am, instead of the regular times of 9pm (in N’Djamena) or 7pm in some provinces.
