Tunisia has recorded on Monday 3 new coronavirus cases during the last twenty-four, upping the total number of the confirmed cases to 1,455 .

In a statement, the ministry of health said that the country has recorded 1157 recovered cases and 50 deaths so far.

It also added that 248 cases are still active.

It is worth mentioning that, several Arab countries have tightened restrictions on movement and travel, with the aim of curbing the spread of the Coronavirus, and some have pledged billions of dollars in economic stimulus programs to reduce the economic repercussions of the crisis.

Tunisia's president Kais Saied on Monday decided to lift the nationwide curfew and coronavirus restrictions after eliminating the transmission of the novel COVID-19.

According to Tunisian media, the decision came after the Tunisian president consulted the speaker of parliament and the Prime Minister.

How to protect yourself from Coronavirus: 

-Wash your hands frequently with soap and water or use an alcohol-based hand rub if your hands are not visibly dirty as washing hands with soap and water eliminates the virus if it is on the hands.

-When coughing and sneezing, cover mouth and nose with flexed elbow or tissue – discard tissue immediately into a closed bin and clean your hands with alcohol-based hand rub or soap and water to prevent the spread of germs and viruses. If you sneeze or cough into your hands, you can pass the virus to other people that you have contact with.

-Eat fruits and vegetables that contain Vitamin C so that your immune system could be enhanced for better and be able to confront viruses.

-Avoid touching eyes, nose and mouth as hands touch many surfaces, which can be contaminated with the virus. If you touch your eyes, nose or mouth with your contaminated hands, the virus from the surface may infect you.

Accordingly, you need to keep surrounding surfaces clean and free of viruses.

Make sure to keep all surrounding surfaces clean, even those that don’t usually cross minds like: keyboards, phone receivers, doorknobs, light switches, and remote controls.
