For the fourth time in a row, Togo is extending the State of Health Emergency. 

The measure announced by President Faure Gnassingbé noted that with effect, from April 2, 2020, there will be more restrictions as part of the measures to curb the spread of Covid-19.

Recall that on Tuesday, the National Representation, was called on to examine the request lodged by Prime Minister Victoire Tomégah-Dogbé for an extension of the state of emergency. 

It was therefore decided that the measure be renewed in order to allow the country to contain the spread of this disease.

Journalist Carlos Amevor has been briefing WADR’s Atiewin Mbillah-Lawson on what this extension means.
