The World Health Organization, WHO says the Coronavirus pandemic is accelerating in Africa.
According to the Organization’s Africa Regional Director, Matshidiso Moeti, the virus is spreading beyond capital cities and that a lack of tests and other supplies is hampering responses.
She said it did not seem like severe cases and deaths were being missed by authorities.
So far Africa has been the continent least affected by Covid-19. South Africa had more than a quarter of the cases and an outbreak in its Western Cape Province was looking similar to recent outbreaks in Europe.
Overall, there have been more than seven-point-three million infections globally and more than 416 thousand deaths.
