a matter of time covert 19 all the coronavirus as rid its ugly head in africa egypt confirming the 1st case on friday since then the african union has assured the call today that it's working hard to ensure the disease doesn't get any further but it's already impacting business. since the outbreak of coronavirus in egypt the southern algerian has he messaoud airport has set up medical screening checkpoints it's a destination for employees in the country's oil industry authorities fear the virus could begin to spread in africa. i think. for the for the people because we have with china people china is the most important trade partner for many african countries as well as a buyer of the continent's natural resources and when it comes to resource dependent countries just take angola well over 60 percent of net exports are to

china it's a similar story for the likes of the republic of congo and zambia exports to other countries are suffering to african economies are hugely dependent on global commodity prices which have plummeted in the wake of declining chinese demand. only oil has tumbled since the start of the outbreak to vital resources for many sub-saharan economies african airlines as well are feeling the effects many have cancelled flights to china only ethiopian airlines are still servicing the country and that's just to name a few examples china is the growth engine of africa so the corona virus outbreak will likely cause some economic com. let's go over to joy during beera who's in nairobi for us joy tell us how much africa is hurting economically for this coronavirus. band to put it into perspective there are about 10000 chinese firms in different african countries and that's about

a 1000000 chinese nationals who operate in different african countries on the continent and in return we also have about 80000 african students in china and there's a lot of business that crisscrosses these 2 countries still many of these small medium and large scale business owners who have to do their manufacturing in china also being affected and we're also seeing the bigger firms as well that do have chinese nationals who work for them also having their businesses affected by this because most of the airlines have canceled or suspended most of the flights to and from china and this has in a large way infected business operations in different parts of the african continent and in different sectors as well including the airline sector of course which we already mentioned. we know africa's ties with china are so close what what

i don't understand is how how they can only be one case of. well the egyptian case is one iraqis but hopefully the authorities in egypt are able to contain it but the advantage also is the fact that when the virus broke out it was just at a time where china was winding up its new year's holiday and saw it was very easy for the chinese authorities to you know push the holiday forward just to try and contain the virus and before most of the travelers could fly to the continent and then we're also seeing that the chinese government as well is working closely with more african countries that are on higher lot because they have 10 african countries including kenya as well as zambia and the democratic republic of congo among other things that are on high alert for this so china ease contributing to the detecting equipment for the coronavirus and we are seeing most of the tests

being done being taken either to china are or to south africa and we've also seen a lot of passengers being current deemed at the point of entry that includes airports and border areas around the african continent so that could explain why 'd it's just one case briefly just lastly joy africa's been stepping up measures to prevent the disease from spreading but this isn't the only outbreak africa is dealing with of course. it's not but this being the only case that makes it a little bit easier that that is the one case in egypt but we're also seeing that the has been a recurrent outbreak of the fall of virus in the democratic republic. of the world health organization has put the number at over 2000 deaths over the last few years and we've also seen the last of that has broken out in nigeria which is africa's most populous country with other 400 cases and 17 deaths so not

really africa is on high alert when it comes to preventing all of these viruses but it you can't tell really just how successful this is going to be considering what of africa's health systems very vulnerable to almost of these outbreaks dorie there are thank you very much. 50 percent of patients sounds excessive but that's this year's goal in zimbabwe it's the 1st inflation outlook since the government stopped publishing annual done last june as had the bank says the main task is to stabilize inflation which the 521 percent last year and to steady the exchange rate wants to print more local currency and limit the use of foreign ones somalis struggling through its worst economic crisis in a decade. equitorial guinea says it was an attack on its dignity the french seized a paris property linked to the african nations vice president in

in kenya is beautiful i was there just recently it's a remnant of the huge central african rain forest that once stretched across the belly of the continent but it's getting smaller and smaller every year some communities depend on it for their livelihoods. kaka maker forest is kenya's only tropical rain forest and it's threatened by deforestation some $200000.00 people in the area depend on its wood for fuel and if the farce just to be saved alternatives are needed around 80 percent of africans use wood for cooking but margaret odhiambo has switched to a solar cooker it uses direct sunlight to heat the food. romney not to when i was given the solar cooker i didn't use it for a week i didn't think it will work one day i took bananas and put them in the cooker and to my surprise they were well cooked. this solar cooker was

designed far away in finland dozens of devices financed by private donations have been sent to the kaka maker region the food cooks on its own and margaret odhiambo doesn't need to gather firewood giving her more time for other things some health problems have improved too. i have used firewood for cooking for very long time there are times when my eyes would star itching from the smoke it was bad but that has now disappeared. kenya's tried to ban firewood collection but with little success because poor people often have no other choice a few solar cookers won't save the car can make a forest but as viable alternatives to burning wood they offer some hope for the forests future. now having a global business juggernaut in your neighborhood can have benefits. off as
