Abstract
After a year of coronavirus epidemic, Côte d'Ivoire is completing a third wave of Covid-19. Although the epidemic has been confined mainly to Greater Abidjan, thanks in particular to the isolation measures imposed on the Ivorian economic capital, the impact of the health crisis has nevertheless been marked. Like other West African countries, Côte d'Ivoire did not experience the epidemic tsunami that some predicted in March 2020, but more than 45 000 cases and nearly 300 deaths have been reported, although these figures underestimate the epidemiological reality. With the advent of vaccination, Côte d'Ivoire hopes to control the epidemic, but the possible circulation of variants, particularly South African variants, and the difficulties in obtaining vaccine doses are challenges that the Ivorian health authorities will have to overcome. The resilience of the population has been significant during this crisis, illustrating the ability of Ivorians to withstand the impact of this crisis.Entities:
