CLEAN : Burkina Faso confirms first cases of coronavirus

A patient who recently traveled to Mulhouse, France, returned on February 24, 2020, without symptoms. By February 28, she experienced fatigue, a cold, and high fever, leading to a medical consultation and a dengue diagnosis. Due to persistent symptoms and respiratory issues, the health ministry was alerted. Laboratory results confirmed COVID-19. The patients, all Burkinabé nationals, were initially thought to be less susceptible due to their skin color, a misconception addressed in the video.
