COVID-19 Projected Impact in Africa (Part 2)

Yale University School of Medicine (05/01/2020)
  • Prevention efforts in Africa, because of low socioeconomic conditions that it faces, should be contextualized based upon the specific needs of the region.
  • Provision of adequate resources (water, sanitation measures, and food distribution) would be largely helpful to the mitigation of the spread of coronavirus.
  • Due to past experiences with pandemics, local African leaders are taking steps to aid their countries during this time.
  • Further steps need to be taken to ensure that no community is marginalized during this time.
