Assessing the long-term persistence of SARS-CoV-2 in Guinea: insights from post-epidemic sentinel syndromic surveillance data
SARS-CoV-2 is still circulating in Guinea, with a high positivity rate and a high number of effective reproductions in this post-epidemic period in our country. The associated factors and the circulation of variants with a diversity of circulating strains suggest the need to strengthen genomic and epidemiological surveillance, with the support of all those involved in the response to COVID-19, to ensure continuity of alerts and decision-making for public health.
