The Bouira Provincial Hospital (EPH) has reported no new COVID-19 cases over the past three days. According to the Ministry of Health, 11 cases registered in the wilaya are still hospitalized and in isolation. Meanwhile, other suspected cases with negative test results have been allowed to return home. The partial confinement measures appear to be yielding results, although some essential products are still causing congestion and long queues.
The unavailability of certain products, such as milk in sachets and semoule, has led to shortages and crowds. However, the Bouira DSA (Direction des Services Agricoles) has reassured that semoule is available in sufficient quantities. A quota of 10,970 quintals of semoule was directly supplied from minoteries, and another 780 quintals were distributed by Agrodiv. These supplies were allocated across various localities, including Ath Laâziz, Haizer, and Sour El Ghozlane.
To improve distribution, the task of allocating merchandise to retail stores has been transferred to municipal services. This move aims to ensure a more efficient and organized distribution process. The local authorities are working to maintain order and control the spread of the virus.
Meanwhile, various municipalities in Bouira are intensifying their solidarity efforts. Some APCs (Assemblées Populaires Communales) are taking charge of disinfecting and cleaning public areas, working alongside other authorities such as the police, gendarmerie, and firefighters. These operations are multiplying across localities, demonstrating a strong sense of community and cooperation.
The mayor of Djebahia, Rachid Djebri, has set an example by donating his monthly salary to the CCP (Compte de Solidarité) to support the national effort to mitigate the crisis. He expressed his hope that other mayors in Bouira will follow his lead, emphasizing the importance of solidarity and fraternity during this challenging time.
Djebri Rachid, the mayor of Djebahia, stressed the need for citizens to respect the confinement measures and stay at home. His initiative has been welcomed by the community, and it is expected to inspire similar gestures of solidarity from other local leaders.
The situation in Bouira remains under control, with authorities working tirelessly to manage the crisis and provide support to those affected. The local population is urged to continue adhering to the confinement measures and to show solidarity with those in need.
