table card. According to the World Health Organization, the epidemic of plague in Madagascar is grade 2. A classification that would involve a risk of spreading national, very high. Information shared during the meeting between the government, the diplomatic corps and the technical and financial partners (TFP) yesterday at Mahazoarivo.
The meeting, which lasted nearly two hours, was to share information between the government and international partners on the development of the disease and devices committed to combat it. The openness and transparency would have been the watchword of the meeting. "We are completely transparent, giving you all the information. There is no reason not to be, "said Henri would Rabary-Njaka, Minister of Foreign Affairs, according to the echoes of the meeting.
That said, Charlotte Ndiaye, WHO representative in Madagascar would have explained to the audience that this international body has classified the epidemic grade 2. This would mean that the risk of spreading pneumonic plague nationally is very high. At the regional level, the risk is moderate and internationally, it is low.

International partners of the Big Island, the WHO representative would have indicated that, given the level of risk, the International Health Regulations, voted and approved by all countries of the world, would imply that there is no restrictions on flights and the commercial movements in Madagascar, at the entrance and exit. A green light, subject to the application of the WHO health checks.
To reassure their interlocutors, members of the government are in particular struggled to assert respect for these health checks. The head of the Malagasy diplomacy even stressed the descent of the Minister of Health and that of Transport, in Ivato, the night of October 10, to check the strict application of health standards that are needed to fight against the international spread of the epidemic.
"As the WHO has said, the epidemic is level 2. (...) It is at level 3 that the isolation of the country is the most to be feared," said Solonandrasana Olivier Mahafaly, Prime Minister at the end of the meeting. The objective of convincing the donors not to cut ties with Madagascar, as did the Seychelles. A case of plague, however, been reported in the archipelago on Tuesday.
A 34 year old man would have contracted the disease in the Big Island, he would have left before that Seychelles barricading its borders. WHO would have conceded during yesterday's meeting that there would be difficulties in maintaining the epidemic so that it does not get out. The level of risk does not require Madagascar be quarantined. "Grade 2" prescribed by WHO could, however, be less reassuring nationally.
The high risk of national spread is explained by the fact that it would be "difficult to trace and stop the contamination chain." Reported cases appear, in fact, trigger sporadically in about forty locality. The population density in some affected areas as Antananarivo and Toamasina, could be among the parameters confirming the very high risk of spread of pneumonic plague.
Added to this is the questionable hygiene of certain categories of fast food. There are also up-and-goings of people confined in transit. disinfection operations, suspension of combinations or events deemed dangerous in the reported locations of plague and the temporary cessation of course, seem to be enough. Official events, religious cults, or, the evenings are always full. This is all the more, not counting the incivility of the population. The families that hide the sick, or patients who are hiding.
