I realise there are varying opinions as to the impact the epidemic has had on operations in Madagascar, but no matter what opinion you hold this is good news not only for the people of Madagascar but also Cougar/DNI.
From the Madagascar Tribune. Tuesday 28 November
End of the Urban Epidemic
Prime Minister Olivier Mahafaly Solonandrasana announced yesterday the end of the epidemic of urban lung plague. In the sense that the cities of Antananarivo and Toamasina are no longer affected by the disease. "The number of new cases of plague decreased significantly as early as the fifth week after the outbreak began. This indicates that the public health measures taken to contain the epidemic have been effective. Said the Head of Government. Do not fail to praise his public health minister whose crisis management has yet stirred the public. The population is still called to vigilance since the disease has not yet been completely eradicated. " Currently, sporadic cases of suspected plague continue to appear in naturally plague foci in Madagascar. The surveillance and treatment of patients suspected of plague is continuing, but the last confirmed case of pneumonic plague in the linear list of the recent urban epidemic occurred on November 03, 2017 "continued the prime minister. Pointing out, therefore, that there are naturally plague foci in Madagascar when we are already wondering about the plague season qualification. The plague season would not end until about the month of April of next year. This epidemic killed more than 200 people in 3 months.

Thanks for that, Elcorp. Given this news I'd expect CGM/DNI to resume operations soon, but not tomorrow or the next. Happy to wait if it means our teams stays healthy.
