The World Health Organisation (WHO) has warned that the COVID-19 has continued to spread in Africa since the virus was first detected on the continent in mid-February 2020.
Related Newshas warned that the COVID-19 has continued to spread in Africa since the virus was first detected on the continent in mid-February 2020.
“The pandemic is accelerating – it took 98 days to reach 100, 000 cases and only 19 days to move to 200, 000 cases. “South Africa is the most affected, accounting for 25 per cent of the continent’s total cases, with the Western Cape and Eastern Cape provinces reporting high number of cases and deaths daily.’’
The UN health agency said many countries were quick to make difficult decisions and put in place lockdowns and key public health measures. “These public health and social measures have been effective in slowing the spread of COVID-19 in Africa,’’ it stated. “So, the need to balance between saving lives and protecting livelihoods is a key consideration in this response, particularly in Africa,” it said.
