COVID-19 Spread: African Countries Should Declare 21-Day Total Lockdown

 

COVID-19 Spread: African Nations Should Declare 21-Day Lockdown Now!

 

With the rate of coronavirus infection rising in Africa, the only way to curtail this pandemic in Africa is by a total lockdown of all activities for at least 21 days. Movements in the towns must be reduced to essentials and properly monitored by the authorities. 

The government should make strict policies about observance of the lockdown until the environment is safe.

If this situation is allowed to spread in Africa where most countries are unprepared for China, United Kingdom or Italy experience, many lives will be lost to poor healthcare facilities and poor social distancing cultures. The Governments must take decisive actions to guard against full blown health war in Africa. It may get out of control.
