COVID Cases in Africa Increased by 52% in One Week, May Get Worse - WHO | Daily Report Nigeria

The World Health Organisation (WHO) has said COVID-19 cases in Africa have increased by 52 percent in the past week.

WHO director-general, Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus, disclosed this in a media briefing on Friday.

The DG noted that deaths in Africa have also increased by 32 percent and added that the situation is expected to worsen.

Ghebreyesus said “After 18 months, the ineffective use of public health and social measures, increased social mixing, and vaccine inequity continue to give COVID-19 an opportunity to mutate, spread, and kill,” he said.

‘The global failure to share vaccines equitably is fueling a two track pandemic that’s now taking its toll on some of the world’s poorest and most vulnerable people.

“Every region has countries that are now facing a steep increase in cases and deaths. In Africa, cases have increased by 52 percent just in the past week, and deaths have increased by 32 percent and we expect things to only get worse.

“Less than 1 percent of Africa’s population has been vaccinated. Vaccines donated next year will be far too late for those dying today, being infected today, or at risk today. Our global target are to vaccinate at least 10% of the population of every country by September, at least 40 percent by the end of this year, and 70 percent by the end of next year. These are the critical milestones we must reach together to end the pandemic.”
