COVID19 IN AFRICA

There are 54 countries in Africa with a total population of 133.24 crores. While almost all countries in the world are infected with the COVID 19 disease, it has not made much of a havoc in African countries. However, as per available information the deadly disease have so far entered into 49 countries with 5252 cases and 174 deaths. Many African countries do not have adequate resources to overcome the threat of this new pandemic. Significantly, millions of refugees camped in many countries across the continent are vulnerable to this disease. It is more pathetic that resourceful countries in Asia, Europe or American continents are trying their level best to get over this situations in their own countries. As such those countries may not be in a position to divert their attention towards other countries now. Since most of the African countries are helplessly looking at this most hazardous disease with nothing in hand, United Nations may rise to the occasion to help those countries. If timely help could not be rendered it may end up in a catastrophe. The whole world have to be united to erase this most powerful demon from the global canvas.
