“…Since they are the people who frequent places of worship the most, one might have thought the opposite. This was not the case because older persons are genuinely aware that they are most at risk in the context of the COVID-19 pandemic, especially when one considers their challenges in terms of access to care [56], intergenerational solidarity [57]in Senegal, and the di culties in applying measures in places of worship.…”

Background: While the first case of COVID-19 was declared on March 2 2020 in Senegal, the government banned the attendance of places of worship on 14 March. On March 23, it introduced a curfew, a ban on movement between regions, and the closure of markets. These measures were lifted in May and June 2020. The objective of this study is to measure and understand the acceptability of these four governmental measures as well as the level of public trust in the state to fight the pandemic. Methods: We carried out a mixed-method research with an explanatory sequential estimate. The acceptability variables were defined using the theoretical framework of acceptability (TFA). At the quantitative level, we carried out a telephone survey (June/July 2020) at the national level (n=813) with a sampling strategy by marginal quotas. To understand these results, we conducted a qualitative survey (August/September 2020) with a nested sample (n=30). Results: The results show a relatively high acceptability of the measures but a heterogeneity of responses. People considered curfews to be much more important (85.7% [83.2%; 88.0%]) than the closure of places of worship (55.4%; [51.9%; 58.7%]), which is least in line with the values and positive affective attitude. With the lifting of certain measures, respondents questioned the consistency of the decisions. Several positive unintended effects of the curfew were stated (security and social/family cohesion). People over the age of 60 have more confidence in the government to fight the pandemic than people under the age of 25 (7.72 ± 3.12 vs. 7.07 ± 3.11, p = 0.1); and they are more in favour of the closure of places of worship. Men have less confidence in the government than women (6.84 ± 3.21 vs. 7.47 ± 3.05; p = 0.001). The more regions are affected by the pandemic, the less confidence respondents report in the government and the less they perceive the measures as effective.Conclusions: The results confirm the importance of government communication and trust in the state to strengthen the acceptability of pandemic measures. Important differences in acceptability show the need to adapt measures and their explanations, instead of unqualified universal action.

While the first case of COVID-19 was declared on March 2 2020 in Senegal, the government banned the attendance of places of worship on 14 March, as a first measure. On March 23, it introduced a curfew, a ban on movement between regions, and the closure of markets. The objective of this study is to measure and understand the acceptability of these four governmental measures as well as the level of public trust in the state to fight the pandemic. We carried out a mixed-method research. The acceptability variables were defined using the theoretical framework of acceptability (TFA). At the quantitative level, we carried out a telephone survey (June/July 2020) at the national level (n = 813) with a sampling strategy by marginal quotas.

Several positive unintended effects of the curfew were stated (security and social/family cohesion). People over the age of 60 have more confidence in the government to fight the pandemic than people under the age of 25, although not significant (7.72 ± 3.12 vs. 7.07 ± 3.11, p = 0.1); and they are more in favour of the closure of places of worship. The more regions are affected by the pandemic, the less confidence respondents report in the government and the less they perceive the measures as effective. The results confirm the importance of government communication and trust in the state to strengthen the acceptability of pandemic measures.

Bien que le continent africain reste caractérisé par la jeunesse de sa population, il va connaître en quelques décennies seulement une très forte augmentation des effectifs de personnes âgées. Compte tenu de la situation globalement préoccupante des aînés africains en matière d’accès à des biens et services de santé en adéquation avec leurs besoins, la rapide gérontocroissance annoncée interroge la capacité des systèmes de santé à s’adapter à cette nouvelle donne. Tout en rappelant plusieurs éléments clés de l’hétérogénéité démographique du continent, cet article met en relief l’importance et la pluralité des enjeux reliant vieillissement et santé en Afrique. Il souligne également que la pandémie de Covid-19 et ses multiples et lourdes conséquences, notamment sur le plan socio-économique, complexifient grandement tout objectif de réduction de la vulnérabilité des aînés et des futurs aînés africains.
