Africa should be prepared for the worst of the COVID-19- WHO

As there are now 633 COVID-19 cases with 17 death recorded case of the coronavirus in 33 countries in Africa, the World Health Organization Director-General, Tedros Adhanom, has said that there might be more cases of the virus in Africa than the ones reported and so, therefore, Africa should be prepared for the worst to come.

On Wednesday, which is the 18th of March, the director of WHO also gave a piece of advice that public gathering should be avoided at the WHO’s daily press to brief the world on the progress of containing the virus.

He said;

“You know as of today (March 18), the number of cases reported from sub-Saharan Africa are 233 cases and four deaths, that is actually in terms of confirmed cases, it is the lowest region.

But as Mike said, we cannot take this number as the amount of, or the number of cases we have in Africa, probably we have undetected cases or unreported cases. But in addition to that, even if we take this 233 cases as true, we have to prepare for the worst.

In other countries we have seen how the virus actually accelerates after a certain tipping point. So the best advice for Africa is to prepare for the worst and prepare today. It is actually better if these numbers are really true, to cut it from the bud.

And that is why we are saying we have to do the testing, we have to do the contact tracing, we have to do the isolation and cut it from the bud.

I think Africa should wake up, I think my continent should wake up.”
