In the recent weeks we have seen what started out as an epidemic become a global pandemic following the rapid spread of COVID-19 (Coronavirus) and has in one way or another affected our day to day lives.
Countries across the continent have heightened efforts to prevent widespread infections and take strong action to mitigate the impact and it is indeed a time we require sustained and co-ordinated action by both public and private sectors to avert devastation.
