Governments must maintain strong surveillance and detection systems, reassess and bolster their treatment capacities, step up the supply of critical medicines, including medical oxygen and ensure there are enough beds for severely ill patients.

The situation in India has also affected and delayed vaccine roll-outs on the continent. As one of the largest Covid-19 manufacturers in the world, the country has put a temporary export ban as it focuses on fighting the current surge in cases internally.
