The African Regional Secretariat of the World Health Organization (WHO) has called for caution as the number of infected people in South Africa is increasing rapidly as the new coronavirus continues to spread in Africa.
WHO's Secretary-General for Africa's Secretariat, Moeti, announced at a press conference on Wednesday that more than 410,000 people were infected with the virus and more than 10,000 people died across the continent. ..
He added, "There are differences between countries, and although Ghana and Nigeria continue to increase, South Africa is the most serious."
According to Moeti, according to the Secretary-General of South Africa, South Africa accounts for about two-thirds of the total number of infected people out of the 47 countries in the sub-Saharan region, and recently, about half of new infected people. It means that the number is rapidly increasing.
In late South Africa, since the end of March, the borders have been virtually blocked and restrictions have been placed on going out.However, while the economy has deteriorated and the lives of the poor have become difficult, restrictions such as allowing restaurant in-store eating and casino reopening Is being promoted.
Along with that, the number of infected people is increasing, and more than 6,000 people have been confirmed every day recently, and the government predicts that the peak will come from this month to next month.
"We need to strengthen the health sector as restrictions are eased and more people move," Moeti said.
