Africa will be next epicentre of coronavirus, says WHO
The World Health Organization says the number of known coronavirus cases in Africa has risen by 51 percent over the past week.
It believes that the epicentre of the virus will move from Europe to Africa next. The number of reported deaths is up by 60 percent over the same period but the real figures are likely to be even higher than those being reported, its Director General Dr. Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus warned on Friday.
“People must eat. I strongly believe that hunger is much more dangerous than the coronavirus so we must do our best to ensure that people get food to eat,” said the market association’s chairperson Shehu Usman.
