Hello im christine want to welcome to news africa. Any more and more governments around the world are imposing lock downs and restricting travel off to the World Health Organization declared coronavirus a pandemic that means it is spreading from person to person at a very high rates in all spoke countries now if you take a quick look at this map showing where cases have been confirmed you see africa looks a lot cleaner now there are currently just over 100 cases confirmed in africa in tall countries so a small number compared to europe where its a the unknown has tall 1000 cases. The Global Crisis is not widespread in africa at least for now there are fears that a corona Virus Outbreak on the continent could overwhelm the already fragile Health Care Systems in rwanda campaigns promoting basic hygiene like many other african countries its free of the virus but still bracing for impact if you go and meet the new members we have to be afraid of this disease is competition but they still live close that way well take serious measures to prevent it in all ways before it comes. To you you know if it gets here we can keep it from spreading quickly as they can and. Up until now those infected with the virus have come from abroad so the most stringent checks are being carried out at ports of entry but thats not been enough the 1st coronavirus case south of the sahara was in nigeria an italian citizen who flew in from milan he has since infected a 2nd person and all. Such secondary cases could pose the biggest threat particularly if they spread undetected. Correspondent for it takes us to the streets of lagos way of people dont seem to be very. Valid one of these yes markets. Yes well 1st people outside fairly so theres a lot of money xchange on physical contact nothing seems to change in spite of to call from kids off who are now back and many people here tell me that they are no one we are told have it about. And i you worry that its going to be a problem. Because you will for. Whatever us all know 6 me because. I just knew they would survive this. Did i was it that were in this. So. One of the reasons why most nigerians are not is because nigeria is no stranger to this craig zone 2014. Is a city of 20000000 people it could have been an epidemic. And now Nigerian Health authorities are receiving praise from around the world including the World Health Organization for their efforts in stopping the spread of. Passing just coming into the country have to screen ings at different points of entry they must pass on all their information to authorities this is an example of the form. To feel as soon as they arrive before they. Now it includes information like. Flight Information Health sim tomes and theres a question here that says in the last 2 weeks have you had anyone who was you are not feeling well so after offering this. To health officials. To passengers and those they have made contacts weve. Acted if there was any suspected case of a virus on their flight it was almost. To. Affect them and. Eventually spread. On devices like riches to care for patients. So why havent we seen as many coronavirus cases in africa to answer this. Morning on the program hes a former World Health Organization vajrayana just for the region africa professor well get to that question in a moment but 1st ship people in nigeria be a little bit more concerned about the coronavirus and they are at the moment. Agri we do very much that we should be more concerned than we are that weve discovered a 2nd piece if you dread gaze after the testimony and theres a somebody in nigeria who professed because we still have not discovered all of the people who chop with ak i think the few people we have not given to trick we should give my consent now that cause interact with others and i share in the saying things like we beat a ball we can beat the car on a virus if that not you correct jordan it is not after we get to pull out we see we have got that little vacuum of local to control the yellow fever so if you couldnt beat those ones who would use of the country and they were going to do to going to vegas this is quite different from what they do with a lot of intense of the reach of transmission to do so this speech which becomes much more difficult than. It would have hurt as for example looking at the map of where the the cases of this outbreak have been confirmed the african looked pretty much seen because if i can say that compared to you know places like europe why is it that we havent seen so many cases in africa but were having this huge audience one thing that the environment the condition given the fact that you have knives in winter too good to do you think preach your environment thats a picture of me the conscience of a shut up you of the fijians the intersect in separation when you have the mouth guardian must and will people wish to spread the disease so right now yes not having the truth is what i said also the fact that we are not detected if you do find it not worth the effort is a very young continent does that mean that when corona virus does great that people will be a bit of a place to survive that weve heard things like it is the elderly and people with existing conditions that almost honorable its a crowing about a very minor event there has just. When will he use enough of them vibrant us to extract for enlightenment their condition you thought of as such and so i dont think we can rely too much invested is not to get you know that people young people are not going. To not die as much as. A little old age group. That coronavirus kong by africans very high thin but says that some of the stuff that you see circulating on social media when you look at the. Character are christians of those viruses if you read temperatures lou temperatures on the deuce of an environment but when you get to an environment like some of the ones youre having are going to reject when. They did exist if you please and even fortune to be sent you get that of their lexus or guide and you know go and sort of what i do is of a dollar each tick in terms of m. And across compared to this is a euro which temperatures are much more of a how well placed is nigeria. In terms of how to cope if if the number of cases was to start increasing preparedness of nigeria cannot be focused on 2 or 3 places where we are talking of niggas with a can of objects i dont have to feel confident that all the states in the country aspartate that because i was a capitalist there are other taxes and give a movie to everybody action or even. Begin to take action on g. D. P. Since ive been discovered its good to win to win states so as not you shows films that are flattering we from lugos how well protected they act i dont think we are taking it seriously at 3 part of the country should be perfect not just in uganda or not he will come soon get more distance from which and to go into that part of the country im going to be worried but it would be a difficult. All right thats professor well you know a little mari in the thank you staying on coronavirus im going down south to south africa which has reported its 1st case off local transmission a 29 year old man in the free state province was confirmed infected with corona virus after contact with a chinese businessman now south africa is also bringing home more than 120 off its citizens from china south africas president settled on a military staff on the mission this week some of the return niece has been confined to quarantine in china for almost 2 months. Now president run up also was at pains to point out that none of the returning ill and they will stay in quarantine once they return to south africa but what do people in the country think our correspondent in capetown at the end creech sent us this update people here are divided about the governments decision to bring the south africans in one big hole many are criticizing the timing already many weeks ago other nations have been bringing their people back home but the government here has been debating and debating and theyre only taking action now at a time where the number of cases is going down in china i do this slowly increasing here in south africa on the other hand family members are of course very happy that this is going to happen now theyve been lobbying forward with the government for weeks it was a very frustrating time for many of them and although it will still take quite some time until they can physically see their family members remember they have to go in quarantine 1st the moment of their return is definitely going to be a moment of happiness and relief for them.
