How is Africa coping with the coronavirus pandemic? | DW News

As the coronavirus spreads around the world at an ever increasing rate, just over a hundred cases have been confirmed in twelve African countries. A small number compared to Europe where Italy alone has currently mor than 12,000 confirmed cases. But there are concerns that a wider outbreak there would overwhelm the already fragile healthcare system. Authorities fear that Africa es espacially vulnerable to an undetected spread of the virus. So how well is Africa prepared to cope with a coronavirus outbreak?

Africa seems to be the strongest in this. They are experienced and they are not panicking. God bless the way they are handling it

My heart is literally aching, I just broke down in tears not too long ago ... I don't even personally know anyone infected but I can tell you I'm deeply affected. I just want us (the world over) to be okay again. Currently in my country, South Africa, we have about 240 confirmed cases. Sending love and light to every single person wherever you are in the world. God intervene please❤
