Brazzaville, 29 April 2021 – The risk of COVID-19 resurgence remains high in several African countries due to poor adherence to public health measures, mass gatherings, low testing and vaccination rates, an analysis by the World Health Organization (WHO) has shown.
Three countries face very high risk of COVID-19 resurgence, 20 face high, 22 moderate risk, and only one country faces low risk, according to the risk assessment of 46 countries. The risk was estimated using seven indicators with data from the past four weeks, including COVID-19 cases per million people; the percentage of change in new cases; the percentage of change in new deaths; the reproductive number (the rate at which an infection spreads); the pandemic trend; the average weekly number of tests per 10 000 people; and the percentage of the population that has received at least one vaccine dose.

(KWNO)-For the first time in the nearly four-month vaccination effort, Winona County has leftover COVID-19 vaccines.
Emergency Management Coordinator ben Klinger told KWNO the county has a couple hundred doses that went unused during Thursday’s clinic. The county will hold an appointment-only vaccine clinic on Tuesday, April 20 from 3-9 p.m. at the East End Rec. Center.
Klinger said over 80% of the Winona County seniors have gotten their shots.
“We’ll shift a little bit into evenings. We’re planning on clinics to be announced in the next couple of weeks in some of our smaller communities for people who might not be able to travel,” said Klinger when asked if the county will adjust the times and locations of clinics. “We’re just going to kind of tailor and move around and catch whoever we missed.”
