Youssouf Djaoro, N’Djamena resident said: “Quarantine the city of N’Djamena, I fully agree.
If this brings a solution for the city of N’Djamena and reduces the rate of disease, I fully agree and I can only welcome this.”
Another resident Fatalba Ahmat, disagrees with the measure: “The confinement of the city as such is not a solution since most of the population are getting supplies from the villages all around N’Djamena.
“So if this is the case, and we confine the city, that there are no entrances, no exits, the citizens will starve to death.”
While Chadian authorities find it logical to quarantine the city of N’Djamena to prevent the spread of the disease to the rest of the country, many health specialists believe this decision was taken too little too late.
