WHO cautions African States that are easing Covid measures
The World Health Organization is urging caution over the increasing number of African countries rolling back Covid-19 surveillance and quarantine measures.
The WHO says this is especially "worrisome in a continent that still has the lowest rates of vaccination in the world".
It said that because of the pressure to open up the economy, countries were cutting back on surveillance and other measures.
The WHO’s caution comes amid a recent spike in Covid cases in other parts of the world.
About 201 million people or 15% of Africa’s population are fully vaccinated compared with the global average of 57%, according to WHO.
