The Africa Centres for Disease Control and Prevention warned on Thursday that Covid-19 cases are accelerating in some parts of Africa and governments should step up preparations for a second wave.
The African Union-run organization's head John Nkengasong said that over the past four week, cases have increased by 45% per week on average in Kenya, by 19% in Democratic Republic of Congo and by 8% in Egypt.
He cautioned that the time to prepare for a second wave is truly now, urging governments "not to get into prevention fatigue mode."
