The UGTT calls for accelerated effective intervention in order to save more human lives and alleviate the social crisis.

Meanwhile, the Regional Union of Tunisian Workers of Kairouan denounced in a statement issued on Saturday “the negative and irresponsible interaction with the lives of people in Kairouan”.

“This involves consolidating the capacities of hospitals through recruiting at the level of the medical and paramedical framework, and the reinforcement of equipment, underlines the press release. Imposing a meticulous strategy and rigorous compliance with the health protocol in administrations and supermarkets to curb the circles of contagion is proving more essential than ever, with its corollary, compulsory general confinement, ”concludes the Regional Union of Workers.

It should be noted that the inhabitants of Kairouan organized a protest rally in front of the headquarters of the governorate following the unprecedented deterioration of the epidemiological situation in the region.

Protesters called for the establishment of a field hospital as soon as possible, given the poor health infrastructure in the governorate.
