The Africa Centres for Disease Control and Prevention says it is sending more assistance to Egypt to help it test for any other possible cases.Egypt was one of the countries that were trained to test for coronavirus earlier in February.
Director African CDC Dr John Nkengasong says, “We have actually been very fortunate that we are prepared and remember that tests that Egypt is using now are tests that we had trained them in Senegal and given them an initial number of tests to take home. The World Health Organization also supplied them with some of the tests. So I think it is beginning to conform to our preparedness plans that we had put in place.”“By Wednesday, we will send them additional test kits.
The Africa CDC has asked all public health institutions to step up surveillance within their countries too.
Hope they win..
