TUNIS, May 25 (Xinhua) -- The Tunisian scientific committee for the fight against the coronavirus described on Tuesday the COVID-19 epidemic situation in Tunisia as "worrying and serious."
"The citizens must be cautious and follow the health protocol," Amen Allah Messaadi, a member of the committee, was quoted as saying by the Tunis Afrique Presse.
Messaadi said that "the improvement in some indicators linked to a slight decrease in the number of patients in the hospital and the number of oxygen and resuscitation beds should not lead to a relaxation in the application of the health protocol."
Tunisian Health Ministry on Tuesday reported 1,115 new COVID-19 cases, raising the total number of infections in the country to 337,529.
The death toll from the virus rose by 69 to 12,342 in Tunisia, the ministry said in a statement.
