LOME (UrduPoint / Pakistan Point News - 19th Jun, 2021 ) :- Senegalese President Macky Sall urged his country to get vaccinated to avoid serious illness from the coronavirus, media reports said Friday.

Sall's remarks were made during an economic tour following the announcement of an increase in new infections made by the Ministry of Health and Social Action.
"We must go and get vaccinated. The vaccines are there. We have vaccines. We must go and take the vaccines. With the vaccine, even if you get sick, the form will not be serious because the body will be immune," he said, according to the Senegal news Agency.
He also called on Senegalese to be cautious and vigilant by respecting protective measures.
"In a context of circulation of variants and the effects that this could cause for the management of the pandemic, we urge the population to strictly respect the barrier measures," the Pasteur Institute said Thursday.
