Procédure de dépistage d’une infection à COVID-19 en milieu de travail structuré africain

Though there are no specific guidelines in Sub-Saharan Africa, the aim is to suggest to health practitioners, a simple screening tool of COVID-19 cases in the formal workforce in the region. Indeed the COVID-19 response in the formal African workplace should clearly be integrated into the national system and should include: the setting up, in each company, of a response management unit that works in collaboration with the occupational health and safety committee; awareness-raising and training of social partners on aspects relating to knowledge of the disease and prevention measures; implementation of a procedure for screening and handling cases detected; evaluation and monitoring of the psychosocial and economic impact of the disease.
