For more im joined now by a journalist can make ends meet and reading. This came from think the unexpected it previously denied all charges why now. Youre absolutely right and so now the terrorists which options so its unclear whats what and thats changing that and to study it once more as that you want him to change his plea from going to compete and win state atoms you credit for making force and the study of sufficient character being cold and even convicted it was a rapid 10 around or place that is gripping salems and yet it saves the country and the victims from the dont do you know with a high profile trial and a true 60 that its up to 6 weeks but its still a lot of motivation.

This is did i mean news im merely phenomena stand were coming at the top of the hour and dont forget you can get all the latest news and information around the clock on our website that still w. Dot com thanks for joining me today when you. Come bearing the corona pandemic. Where does research stand. What are scientists learning. Background information on. Our daily corona. 19 special and next on d w ringback. This is the w. s covert 19 special from berlin after originating in asia reaching europe and northern america coded 19 has now quickly spreading across the african continent over the weekend the democratic republic of congo registered its 1st death from the virus now the country has closed its borders and declared a state of emergency president felix has a caddy says the country is out war with an invisible adversary public life has been suspended and the country has gone into lockdown closing bars and restaurants and now most flights to and from kinshasa are. And in this 900. 00 special were looking at how african countries are preparing for the upcoming challenge on their already Vulnerable Health care systems. Im john thanks for joining us corona virus is sweeping across africa but the true number of cases is unknown as mass testing has not yet been rolled out heres some of the latest information we have for you the number of confirmed cases in africa shot past the 2000 mark on wednesday now the majority of the continents 54 countries have registered infections ivory coast and senegal have both declared states of emergency and south africa will begin a long down starting thursday. Joining us from abroad seville in the republic of congo is michel yeah hes the Program Manager for Emergency Response at the World Health Organization in africa also here is edwards hes a professor and immunologists at Reading University welcome to you both michelle ill start with you what sort of advisory has the w h o given africa if any. The advisory in fact he went through different steps their 1st step is for iran the containment face is. To prevent local transmission on as much as possible so this helps to detect they initiate cases now that we have a serious inc a local transmission on it we have it in more than 15 countries in africa now the nest is how to scale up quickly to be able to contain the. Situation and also to start preparing for me to guess on face guess one face is something equivalent to a Wide Community spread that con is a layer of ice trash they had have this is like what we are seeing now in your European Countries now they are all the jets are also predicting that african countries fell experienced their peak number of infections this summer now how prepared would you say the continent is he spoke of upscaling the capacities michel. I would say thats the 1st step culture respect from quite well by detecting they sporadic cases thats where important in africa but 5 a nest is where we need to mobilize maw and we need more at fault we need more support in most of the african countries because it is a step that they will have to deal with and out of people needing intensive have in their system in many african and for fossett it is you dont have such capacity so they need to think about how to scale up with for temporary treatment such as how to get assessed or are suggesting provide also rescued out to the mice in how to get access to protective equipment so at this level countries are less prepared because they are locking the ressources most of them have to follow up and preparedness and Response Plan but the supplies and for example is one of the major challenge to fulfill the spot that is utterly gente because we are moving to are they wide contamination in many countries already. Now michelle spoke at there of the white contamination do you alice see the crisis in africa reaching a similar level to what were seeing here in europe how would that look like. I think i think you know thats thats what weve you know ive been thinking about exactly that since way back you know when we were hearing about the outbreak 1st of all and we han in china i think one positive is i think the much work has gone on to try and expand for example diagnostic Testing Services across africa and weve learned a great deal from programs to tackle big infection has such as hiv and malaria so for example simple Rapid Testing technology is now relatively quick and appropriate to draw all out so we have these sorts of tests here which can be done without in the burra 3 theyre not perfect but theyre very easy to scale out what im hoping is that what weve learnt from those kinds of activities those kinds of Public Health activities will help to deal with early identification and early containment in these states but it is a huge problem given that we cant contain outbreaks very effectively in europe i think will be the same in any other country across the world now testing of course a important part of the response to the current virus michel would you say that people are taking the gravity of the situation they are in africa seriously. I think most of the. National party to is taking it seriously if we look at all the states often meant to see declare is on that we will start to recall in many african countries that up thinking in serious you nest is really for they hold population on and im not sure that they have. This level of it well ness as well as. Taking that seriously in most of the african communities there is a lot of room us going to run including mens fault for tricks men so there is they work to be done and from what we learn from a born out it is that when it does need to be fully on board and for that they need to have the appropriate information to increase awareness but they need to be fully engaged for them to play iran if we have a Community Wide transmission is the Community Behavior that we in part on they way they desist will spread fast within this community and i think learning from hero is time now to take some of the measures probably cuff measures we for food and gauge went off the community to listen or down the spread and objective is to flatten the. Big thats well. Take control weve they exist in capacities thank you very much michel yeah hes the Program Manager for Emergency Response at the World Health Organization and africa also here is al ed burns he is a professor and immunologists at Reading University thank you both.

Thanks. For. Everything. Right. There but were now joined by our correspondent joy during bear out shes standing by for us in Nairobi Kenya joy we just listened to bobby winds up rap slash Public Service message there for us what sort of a role do pop culture and social media have in getting the word out. A lot actually because when you look at the African Demographics at the moment big population happen to fall between the ages of 35 going down and this major concern is for most people right now are focusing or making sure that the young people get the message because the older generation at the moment does not have access to technology on a large scale and they are or happen to be the most vulnerable demographic when it comes to the spread of the coronavirus or covered 19 so social media and pop culture is playing a humongous role in spreading the message to last of the young people on the african continent and in kenya and uganda as well particularly so young people acting as multipliers of the message there now that message itself it seems quite simple wash your hands stay home but neither of those things are easy for everyone. Indeed access to water is not readily available to millions of people around the african continent and that in itself is a challenge especially in the informal settlements in a lot of areas there are parts of africa say in kenya but today what the government is trying to do is ask the water supply has to be a little bit and weave their customers not who shop their bills and also and do not switch off there was a connections in a bid to help people clutch in the cove of the Coronavirus Spread that water will be readily available to the people and that even though they might be having a rear is this still going to be able to wash their hands and maybe take care of that problem at a later date and also the government has tried as much as possible to go to areas where theres not enough access to water to see. Them and also provide water when necessary thank you very much our correspondent a joy there for us in nairobi and that was our d. W.
