has said the agency is working to improve testing capacity by shipping a further round of test kits to countries in sub-Saharan Africa even as some countries are relaxing lock downs.
“Now as some countries begin to ease lock downs, it is important to maintain strong surveillance, case finding and testing among other control measures to halt the pandemic,” the report highlighted. The WHO report revealed that in the week of April 13, cases increased by 113 per cent in Central Africa and 42 per cent in West Africa.
Furthermore, the initial analysis indicated that countries which implemented partial and targeted lock downs along with effective public health measures may have been even more effective at slowing down the virus.
