through its finest hour. until the day i need. to not too dumb to post. thank you and. d. w. . the list is either beanies africa coming up in the next 15 minutes the pearl in a virus pandemic africa still appears largely and a fix it by the outbreak nigeria has been praised for its response and people in lagos lucky pain called man carry not. on are you worried it's going to be a program means you're no good no no no you will be for at the at the border of all of the things that we desperately don't wash out the good of others. and we take a look at the beach on must see the biggest performing arts events in africa.

hello i'm christine want to welcome to news africa it's good to have your company more and more governments around the world are imposing lockdowns and restricting travel off to the world health organization declared virus a pandemic that means it is spreading from person to person at a very high rates in the countries if you take a quick look at this map showing where cases have been confirmed you see africa looks a lot cleaner now there are currently just over 100 cases confirmed in africa in 12 countries it's a small number compared to europe where it's a the unknown has tall 1000 cases. the global crisis is not widespread in africa at least for now there are fears that a corona virus outbreak on the continent could overwhelm the already fragile health

care systems in rwanda campaigns promoting basic hygiene like many other african countries it's free of the virus but still bracing for impact you know need the numbers we have to be afraid of this disease is competition but the phillipos that way will take serious measures to prevent it in all ways before it comes. to you you know if it gets here we can keep it from spreading quickly as they kill and. up until now those infected with the virus have come from abroad so the most stringent checks are being carried out at ports of entry but that's not been enough the 1st coronavirus case south of the sahara was in nigeria an italian citizen who flew in from milan he has since been fact a 2nd person and. such secondary cases could pose the biggest threat particularly if they spread undetected. correspondent for takes us

to the streets of lagos way of people don't seem to be. that loved one of these yes markets. yes well possibly wind and steady so there's a lot of money actions and physical contact nothing seems to change in spite of to call from kitty off who are now back and many people here tell me that they are no one told. me that about an hour. and i you worry that it's going to be a problem. because you will for. whatever us all know me because. i just knew it was a this world love. this. it's. one of the reasons why most nigerians

are not. because nigeria is no stranger to this great trade zone 2000 and. 20000000 people it could have been an epidemic. and no nigerian health authorities are receiving praise from around the world including the world health organization for their efforts in stopping the spread of. passing just coming into the country have to scream at different ports of entry we must pass on all their information to authorities this is an example of the form. to feel as soon as they arrive before they. always includes information like. flight information health sim tomes and there's a question here that says in the last 2 weeks have you had contact with anyone who

was you are not feeling well so after offering this. to health officials. to passengers they have made contact we've. acted if there is any suspected case of the virus on their flight it will the most. affects experts one. sees on devices like richard. so why haven't we seen as many coronavirus cases in africa sponsor this. morning on the program he's a former world health organization viral is just for the region africa professor we'll get to that question in a moment but 1st should people in nigeria be a little bit more concerned about the coronavirus and they are at the moment. agri we do very much that we should be more concerned than we are that we've discovered

sickle keys if you dread gaze after the testimony and there's a somebody in nigeria who professed because we still have not discovered all of the people who chuck with that got us into good people we have not given you to do we should give my consent now the course in iraq now where there's a nigerian the saying things like we beat a bolo we can beat the car on a virus if that knowledge is correct jordan is not after we did we say we have got that little vacuum of local to control a few yellow fever so if you couldn't beat those ones who would use of the country and they were going to going to various this is quite different from what they do with a lot of intense of the reach of transmission to do it so this speech which becomes much more difficult than. it would have hurt us for example looking at the map of where the the cases of this outbreak have been confirmed the african looks pretty

much seen professor back to say that compared to you know places like europe why is it that we haven't seen so many cases in africa we haven't reached you spirits one but seeing that the environment the condition given the fact that you have 9 winter period if you can preach your environment that temperature up near the. end of a shorter period of the projections being in the 2nd separation is when you have the month got june months and will people wish to spread the disease so right now yes not having the choice is what i said also the fact that we're not detecting if you do find you know i think the average is a very young continent does that mean that when coronavirus desperate that people will be bit of place to survive it i mean we've heard things like it is the elderly and people with existing conditions that almost honorable it has to go on about very mining then their health situation. similarly just enough of the middle vibrant us to expect long and merriment are conditioned you thought of as such so i

don't think we should rely too much investing is not to get you know that people young people are not going. to not die as much as. usual and you believe that it's good. that coronavirus kong by africans very high thing which is that some of the stuff that you think that's amazing on social media when you look at the. characters are christians of those viruses if you read temperatures you 10 pages and they do survive an environment but when you get to an environment like some of the ones you're having are going to reject when it reaches. 30 degrees if you please and even fortune to visit you get that of their lectures survive and you know go on so it's you know that it was a total of each tick in motion and tons of them and across compare to this is a year when temperatures are much more of a how well place is nigeria. in terms of how to cope if if the number of

cases was to start increasing to depend it is of nigeria cannot be focused on 2 or 3 places where we're talking of niggas with a can of worms or i don't have the simple truth is that all the states in the country aspartate us i'd only go so i reject these acceptance there are other packages and you move into every that action or even the one state you begin to take action on t.v. kids have been discovered these kids are going to state so as not you shows that are factory moved from lagos how well protected they are i don't think we're taking it seriously at 3 parts of the country should be perfect not just in uganda or not we just say that she will constantly have more reasons from which and to go into that part of the country i get to be rewarded for it will give it a go. right that's professor. in a thank you staying on coronavirus i'm going down south to south africa which

has reported its 1st case off local transmission a 29 year old man in the free state province was confirmed infected with corona virus after contact with a chinese businessman now south africa is also bringing home more than 120 off its citizens from one china south africa's president settled on a horse and sent military staff on the mission and they had to speak some of the return nice has been confined to quarantine in china for almost 2 months. president run up also was at pains to point out that none of the returning is ill and they will stay in quarantine once they return to south africa but what do people in the country think our correspondent in cape town actually increase. people here are divided about the government's decision to bring the south africans

in one big hole many are criticizing the timing already many weeks ago other nations have been bringing their people back home but the government here has been debating and debating and they're only taking action now at a time where the number of cases is going down in china i do this lowly increasing here in south africa on the other hand family members are of course very happy that this is going to happen now they've been lobbying forward with the government for weeks it was a very frustrating time for many of them and although it will still take quite some time until they can physically see their family members remember they have to go in quarantine 1st the moment of their return is definitely going to be a moment of happiness and relief for them. all right that's adrian craze reporting there from cape town but is it an hour from africa you can catch all stories on our website and facebook page. will leave you now with these images from the abidjan the biggest before me odds of international behind me you can see already see i get
