Africa not ready for imminent third COVID19 wave: WHO

Protection: Jabs are in short supply in Africa after India, a major vaccine provider to developing countries, found itself battling its own devastating Covid outbreakJOHANNESBURG - With vaccine deliveries at a near-standstill and lacking key resources in frontline care, Africa is poorly prepared for the third wave of the coronavirus pandemic, the UN warned on Thursday.

In a survey last month, the agency found that health facilities and personnel that are crucial for critically ill Covid patients are grossly inadequate in many African countries. "Treatment is the last line of defence against this virus and we cannot let it be breached," Moeti stressed in an online briefing, calling for better equipment for hospital and medical staff.

In Uganda, the number of cases has jumped 131 percent in one week with outbreaks in schools and an increase in cases among health workers. Angola and Namibia are also seeing a resurgence. India, a major source of jabs for developing countries, announced in late March that it would delay exporting vaccines to help fight a devastating wave of infections at home.
