The National Road Cleaning Program began in earnest today employing more than six thousand persons throughout the country.
The program, coordinated by the Roads, Buildings and General Services Authority (BRAGSA) will be carried out over the next eight days.
According to a release from BRAGSA, the island-wide initiative, will see the employment of persons in all fifteen constituencies.
This will include 491 gangs and 1,000 Jobbers, who will be responsible for the cleaning of roads and drains, as well as the cutting of trees.
Contracts will also be given to over 100 truckers and conductors.
BRAGSA is therefore appealing to motorists and pedestrians to take the necessary precautions during this period.
The programme, which is a collaborative effort between BRAGSA and the Ministry of Economic Planning will be undertaken as part of the Labour Intensive Temporary Employment Programme, which falls under the Volcano Eruption Emergency Programme in that Ministry.
It is being done at an estimated cost of three (3) million EC dollars.

According to the New England Journal of Medicine, 35 cases of Langya henipavirus (LayV) were discovered in China following a study of “zoonotic” diseases at three hospitals in Henan Province and Shandong Province.
Purpose of study
The purpose of the study, using patients recruited from the Qingdao Sixth People’s Hospital, Qingdao, Shandong Province, Shangcheng People’s Hospital and PLA 990 Hospital, Xinyang, Henan Province, was to determine whether there was any link between acute fever (>=38?C) experienced by patients and any recent exposure to animals.
Sample testing
The tests were conducted by collecting blood and throat swab samples from patients, supplemented by an epidemiological investigation on the infected patients and their close contact family members.
In addition to patient samples, a study was also done on animals. This is according to a document related to the study which said:
To infer the infection source of LayV infection, we performed field investigation in the residence village of the infected patients to acquire samples from domestic animals.
Serum samples were obtained from 459 domestic animals (79 free-ranging dogs, 168 semi-captive goats, 112 captive pigs and 100 captive cattle), which were used for detection of LayV-specific IgG antibody by indirect immunofluorescence assay as above mentioned.
We performed PCR on the samples from wild small animals (25 species from 12 genera) to determine the presence of LayV specific RNA.
The wild small animals had been captured using snap traps and then identified by morphological features to the species level, which were further confirmed by sequencing of mitochondrial cytochrome b (mt-cyt b) gene13. The tissue, intestine digesta and urine samples were tested for LayV RNA by RT-PCR as above mentioned.
Test results
Regarding detection of Langya henipavirus, the study confirms that “whole genome sequences of LayV were obtained from 5 positive shrews by viral metagenomic sequencing and targeted PCR sequencing.” (Shrews resemble mice and live underground or in snow, the largest species reportedly being the Asian house shrew (Suncus murinus) of tropical Asia.)
Further investigation necessary
Due to the “probable animal origin” of Langya henipavirus associated with patients’ illness, the New England Journal of Medicine said that further investigation is warranted to better understand associated human illness.

Un employé de la Police aux Frontières a abattu ce mercredi matin “un individu menaçant” et “en possession d’une arme blanche” au terminal 2F de l’aéroport Roissy Charles De Gaulle.
Peu avant 8 heures 30, un homme a été abattu par la police ce mercredi (10 août) matin à l’aéroport Roissy Charles de Gaulle au terminal 2F.
” Un policier de la police aux frontières (PAF) a fait usage de son arme à l’encontre d’un individu a priori SDF qui était en possession d’une arme blanche “, indique le parquet de Bobigny. D’après la préfecture de police, des agents “ont neutralisé ce matin un individu menaçant en possession d’une arme blanche à l’aéroport de Roissy-Charles-de-Gaulle”. L’institution salue sur Twitter le “sang-froid” des policiers.
« un SDF importunait des agents de sécurité et la police aux frontières (PAF) a été appelée en renfort pour le faire évacuer », selon une source aéroportuaire. L’homme s’est éloigné, tout en les invectivant, puis se retourne et a sorti un couteau. Un des policiers a alors fait usage de son arme, selon des sources policières.
Deux enquêtes de flagrance ont été ouvertes, l’une pour ” homicide volontaire par personne dépositaire de l’autorité publique ” et confiée à l’Inspection générale de la police nationale (IGPN). Une deuxième pour ” tentative d’homicide volontaire sur personne dépositaire de l’autorité publique ” et confiée à la PAF de Roissy.Selon le journal Le Parisien, l’homme était âgé de 32 ans, né à Fort-de-France. Connu comme un marginal, il avait pour habitude de circuler dans ce secteur et qui aurait présenté dernièrement des signes d’agressivité.
