Medical experts warn lax attitude dangerous for a country with poor healthcare system Mohammed Dhaysane | 09.02.2021

As the world grapples with COVID-19 in its final round, the Somalian government faces criticism for its lax approach to fight the pandemic.
The Horn of Africa country has not imposed a proper lockdown since March 2020, when the first coronavirus case was reported in the country. However, a curfew was imposed for less than a month in April last year.
Somalis are behaving as if there is no coronavirus, with no restrictions in public places and educational institutions, including universities.
Medical experts warned this attitude is dangerous for a country whose healthcare system remains weak because of poor resources.
