The Grand Magal took place on October 6, 2020, in Touba, Senegal, which was the only MG event organized in 2020. This Muslim pilgrimage gathers about four million Muslim Mourides from Senegal and beyond. No significant increase in COVID-19 cases was therefore observed at the national level in the weeks following the Grand Magal. This successful strategy is an invitation to better promote community commitments by public authorities in their various strategies. specialized SENEGAL TOUBA 050 052 108 105 470-471 2021 1201-9712 https://www.documentation.ird.fr/hor/fdi:010081398 10.1016/j.ijid.2021.01.006 1201-9712 [F B010081398] https://www.documentation.ird.fr/hor/fdi:010081398 https://horizon.documentation.ird.fr/exl-doc/pleins_textes/2021-06/010081398.pdf IRD - Base Horizon / Pleins textes 2021-06-15 2025-02-24 fdi:010081398 fre
