Abstract

Introduction: COVID-19 has spread rapidly around the world. Burkina Faso like other countries has applied a system of containment and surveillance of incoming passengers that we will describe.
Methodology: This was a cross-sectional study using secondary data from the District Health Information Software (DHIS2) database of the Ministry of Health
from April 9 to August 31, 2020.
Results: During the study period, 6,332 travelers from 102 different countries were recorded. Among them, there were 173 cases of COVID-19, or 2.7% of imported cases. The passenger tracking system has undergone an evolution in the strategy of screening tests and the mode of confinement. Thus, from April 9 to 30, passengers were systematically placed in confinement but only the symptomatic benefited from the COVID-19 test. From May 1 to July 30, three SARS-CoV-2 RT-PCR tests were systematically performed on all travelers on D1, D8 and D15 whether they were symptomatic or not. From August 1 to 31, with the reopening of the air borders, rapid diagnostic antigen tests (RDTs) were introduced into the passenger screening device, in addition to the RT-PCR, with the possibility of a self-test. home confinement.
Conclusion: The system put in place by the country has reduced the spread of COVID-19. However, we must remain vigilant with the reopening of air borders and soon those on land and rail.
