Africa CDC: Continent 'Must Be Prepared' as Coronavirus Causes 'Havoc'

Salem Solomon

   WASHINGTON - Three African countries account for most of the
   continent's coronavirus cases, but the deputy director of the Africa
   Centers for Disease Control and Prevention says the entire continent
   must be ready for the virus.

   "The virus is causing a lot of havoc in other parts of the world, and
   we in Africa must be prepared so that it does not catch us in the
   numbers that we are seeing in Europe and Asia, because our health
   systems will not be able to cope," Dr. Ahmed Ogwell told VOA via Skype
   from Addis Ababa, Ethiopia.
