In a suburb of Dakar, a man places a heavy bag of rice on a cart pulled by a donkey. He is one of the first beneficiaries of a large distribution of food aid launched on Tuesday to help Senegalese families cope with the consequences of the Covid-19 epidemic.
To try to stem the transmission of the new coronavirus, the authorities have established a night curfew, closed the borders, prohibited traffic between regions or closed hotels and restaurants.
