Question 15652 — overseas

Summary

Mrs Sandra Delannoy questions the Minister for Europe and Foreign Affairs on the new Ebola epidemic which is affecting the Democratic Republic of Congo and Uganda. While the World Health Organization has triggered an international health emergency in the face of the new Ebola epidemic affecting the Democratic Republic of Congo and Uganda, the African Union is now warning of a risk of spread to around ten countries additional. If the risk for the French metropolitan population remains today considered low, health authorities nevertheless recognize that an imported case via travelers returning from affected areas remains possible, the incubation period of the virus being up to 21 days. The Government website indicates that reinforced surveillance measures have been activated in Mayotte, particularly concerning arrivals in from East Africa, the Great Lakes region and the Comoros. She therefore asks him if the measures announced in Mayotte will really be sufficient in the face of illegal migratory flows and uncontrolled arrivals in the archipelago, which could complicate the early identification of an imported case of Ebola.
