going to be there for a long time and you just showed a few minutes ago the images from from south africa africa seeing a very steep rise even in cases and we need to make sure that while we wait for vaccines to arrive people protect themselves and government authorities take those measures that can protect the 2 to maximum extent we shouldn't be relaxing with the idea of a vaccine it's really up to everyone or valve's to defend ourselves and to do stranded the our families and our communities for the next weeks and months until vaccines will be widely available i mean it does seem unfortunately almost inevitable that certain countries will have more access to vaccines than others at least in the sort of immediate future what would you have to see in place to declare the pandemic is over in a way i mean if you're saying that now you know the vaccine isn't the end of the pandemic what would you have to see in place to say ok well now i think most of the danger is over. well let me just say that it's inevitable that some countries may not have the vaccines while others may it's inevitable but it's

africa, is the country where coronavirus has impacted hardest. in many ways, it's counterintuitive. what has led south africa to a european—style experience with coronavirus when the rest of africad more lightly? i think it is a combination of factors, like everything else is a combination of factors. it is a highly urbanised country, an industrialised country and i think that goes with the spread of coronavirus because it facilitates people coming together in congregate environments and that facilitates the spread of the virus and that is why it spread in europe much more so than in south africa, particularly in your country, the united kingdom, much more so than in south africa, because that kind of industrialised environment does promote the spread of the virus. south africa is a much more industrialised country than many of our neighbouring countries. that is one factor. the second factor is urbanisation. many of these countries are largely rural and we know that rural environments where people are more spread out in an outdoor environment probably decreases the spread of the virus. many of the countries of course are tropical countries, a lot of sunlight, a lot of outdoors,

africa need to be isolated from the rest of africa right now? i noticed today people are still blowing across the bridge border with zimbabwe. zimbabwe can ill afford to get the kind of infection rate that south africaountries as well. should south africa be cut off from the rest of the african continent? you know, stephen, the problem with that expression cut off, it doesn't really work. it's been tried with so many infectious diseases. these infections do have a habit of going across the border, no matter what precautions you put in but having said that, there are precautions in place and all the land border crossings so people that go across from, from example, south africa to zimbabwe or mozambique or neighbouring countries, they do have to have a macro test to ensure they are negative and only a day are negative are they allowed across the border which causes problems because there are big on chops and traffic snarl ups but it has beenin traffic snarl ups but it has been in place for a little while still. -- bunch-ups. let's go to vaccines, which is yourdomain, asa let's go to vaccines, which is your domain, as a virologist, the guy chairing the advisory committee, telling the government how to

africa, in fact, particularly in your country, the united kingdom, much more so in south africa, because that kind of industrialised environment does promote the spread of the virus. and so south africahese countries are largely rural. rural environments where people are a lot more spread out in an outdoor environment probably also decreases the spread of the virus. many of the countries are, of course, tropical countries, a lot of sunlight, a lot of outdoors and so on, they are probably also decreases the spread of the virus. and probably also to a very significant extent is the degree of reporting. i think there is a significant amount of underreporting of cases, underreporting of mortality, in the countries to the north of us. we have a pretty good reporting system. not ideal, i agree, but certainly pretty good, and certainly much better than our neighbouring countries. let's move from south africa to east africa, not to talk about covid but to talk about ugandan politics. this is bobi wine, the ugandan pop star who's also a lead oppostion figure — you may remember he was beaten up in custody in 2018. the pictures were seen globally. he's calling on his supporters to turn out and
