WHO Warns Africa Against Easing of Coronavirus Restrictions

Liberian Observer (08/03/2020)
  • The World Health Organization is concerned that Africa opening early will result in an increase of cases.
  • Over 20 African countries have more new cases than in previous weeks with South Africa containing most of them.
  • However, Uganda, Seychelles, and Mauritius are controlling the virus well.
  • Spikes in some countries are caused by younger people believing the virus is only dangerous to older people, so the WHO is warning them that this is untrue.
  • There are 890,000 reported cases and 18,000 deaths in Africa.
