<p>Ghana’s Minister for Information Kojo Oppong Nkrumah says the enhanced tracing and testing of COVID-19 cases coupled with the mandatory quarantine system is yielding result. He joins CNBC Africa for more on Ghana’s strategy to dealing with the coronavirus pandemic.</p>


Minister Nkrumah outlines Ghana’s COVID-19 response plan


<p>GUANGZHOU, China (Reuters) &#8211; Huddled under a highway bridge with a small bag of belongings, a 19-year old student from Ivory Coast was desperately dialling his few contacts in China.</p>



<p>The student said he arrived in the southern city of Guangzhou last week, after completing his quarantine in another city, during a coronavirus clampdown that several African countries and Africans in Guangzhou say has unfairly targeted them.</p>



<p>“I really need help. I just don’t want to sleep on the streets again,” he said on Monday, asking not to be identified by name.</p>



<p>He came to China to study the language but his university shut because of the coronavirus. Hotels kept turning him away, but later on Monday he said he had found one.</p>



<p>Several African ambassadors wrote to China’s foreign minister last week, calling for the “cessation of forceful testing, quarantine and other inhuman treatments meted out to Africans”.</p>



<p>Ghana’s foreign minister on Saturday called in China’s ambassador to convey the government’s concern.</p>



<p>China’s foreign ministry said on Monday all foreigners are treated equally. But it also said virus controls on Africans would be lifted, apart from confirmed cases and those who have had close contact with them.</p>



<p>“African friends will be treated fairly, justly and amicably in China,” the ministry said.</p>



<p>Many foreigners in China say they have faced suspicion as the country brought its own outbreak under control, only to see new cases brought from other countries. China has barred entry to most foreigners, and the vast majority of imported cases of the disease have come from Chinese nationals returning home.</p>



<p>In Guangzhou, a hub for African traders, authorities said on Tuesday that 111 Africans had tested positive for the coronavirus, while a total of 4,553 Africans had undergone testing since April 4, state media reported. [nB9N2BR00V]</p>



<p>Several African residents said the black community was being unfairly targeted for stricter checks.</p>



<p>“If they do this to all foreigners, then it’s not a problem, but it’s only black people,” Soumana Toudou, a garment trader from Niger, told Reuters by WhatsApp. He said he was undergoing his second 14-day quarantine because the authorities did not believe he had completed his first.</p>



<p>Such decisions are made at the local level and Reuters could not independently confirm this.</p>



<p>The scrutiny from the authorities had triggered hostility from Chinese residents, one student said.</p>



<p>“The selective testing has set the Guangzhou locals into panic, thinking black people are carrying the virus,” he said. He declined to be identified.</p>



<p>A Communist Party social worker, speaking on condition of anonymity, told Reuters on Monday that black people were specifically being made to enter a period of quarantine.</p>



<p>Last week, authorities announced that two neighbourhoods popular with Africans would be locked down to curb the coronavirus after five Nigerians tested positive.</p>



<p>On Monday, the U.S. consulate general in Guangzhou advised African-Americans, or those who believe Chinese officials may suspect them of having contact with African nationals, to avoid the city.</p>



<p>The provincial foreign affairs office provided no immediate comment to Reuters about complaints from Africans and embassies that Africans had been unfairly targeted.</p>



<h3 class="wp-block-heading">ENGAGEMENT</h3>



<p>China has stepped up its engagement with Africa in recent years, with state-owned companies building infrastructure and signing hundreds of deals across the continent.</p>



<p>Guangzhou was home to 13,652 Africans in 2019 and about 351,000 Africans entered the city from abroad last year, official figures show.</p>



<p>Videos on social media in recent days showed what appeared to be Africans sleeping on Guangzhou streets after being evicted from their apartments. Reuters could not independently verify the footage.</p>



<p>Property agents near Guangzhou’s Sanyuanli trading hub said such evictions of foreigners, including Africans, had contributed to a glut of empty apartments.</p>



<p>“For a white person, you can’t rent around here now because of the virus, but you’ll be welcome again in a few months,” said one agent, referring to when the pandemic passes. She declined to give her name.</p>



<p>“But black people, no one will accept them.”</p>



<p>A spokeswoman for McDonald’s in China apologised on Tuesday after staff at a Guangzhou branch forced black customers to leave.</p>



<p>The fast-food chain had temporarily closed the outlet while staff completed “diversity and inclusion” training, spokeswoman Regina Hui said in a statement.</p>



<p>The Chinese authorities now seem to be taking a more conciliatory stance. On Tuesday, media showed hazmat-clad personnel delivering food and flowers to Africans in home quarantine.</p>



<p>The chairman of the African Union, Moussa Faki Mahamat, was receptive, saying on Twitter on Monday he had spoken to Foreign Minister Wang Yi.</p>



<p>“He reassured me of measures underway in Guangzhou to improve the situation of Africans, in line with the strong and brotherly partnership between Africa and China.”</p>

<p>(Reuters) &#8211; The World Health Organization has warned of the risk that COVID-19 could overwhelm strained public health systems in sub-Saharan Africa. Here is a selection of measures countries are taking to prepare for the virus and limit its spread.</p>



<h3 class="wp-block-heading">SOUTH AFRICA </h3>



<p>With more cases than any other country in sub-Saharan Africa, South Africa is barring entry to foreign travellers&nbsp;coming from or transiting through&nbsp;high-risk countries including Italy, Iran, South Korea, Spain, Germany, France, Switzerland, the United States, the United Kingdom and China, according to an advisory issue by the foreign ministry on Tuesday. </p>



<p>Travellers who arrived from these countries since mid-February must report for testing. Those arriving from medium-risk countries – Portugal, Hong Kong and Singapore – will undergo high intensity screening. </p>



<p>South Africans are advised to cancel or postpone all non-essential foreign travel.&nbsp;The government has also ordered schools to close early for the Easter break and will prohibit gatherings of more than 100 people. </p>



<h3 class="wp-block-heading">NIGERIA </h3>



<p>Africa’s most populous nation has stepped up surveillance and is preparing for the possibility of an influx of patients.  </p>



<p>Lagos, the biggest city with some 20 million people, could handle 2,000 cases, said Bamidele Mutiu, who heads a regional biosafety team. To do this, they would need to use two camps previously housing people displaced by violence, he said. </p>



<p>Authorities are checking the temperature of anyone who arrives at Nigeria’s airports, ports and land borders. </p>



<p>Those coming from high-risk countries such as China, Iran, Italy and Spain are asked to self-isolate for 14 days, said Tarik Mohammed, a technical advisor at the Niger Centre for Disease Control. If they develop symptoms, a laboratory team will visit them and collect a sample for testing. </p>



<h3 class="wp-block-heading">KENYA </h3>



<p>The East African country is suspending travel from any nation with reported COVID-19 cases.  </p>



<p>Only Kenyan citizens, foreigners with residence permits and United Nations workers will be allowed to come in, provided they proceed on self-quarantine, the government said this week. </p>



<p>Schools and universities are closing, and public minibuses are providing hand sanitizer. </p>



<h3 class="wp-block-heading">ETHIOPIA </h3>



<p>Ethiopian Airlines said on its website that medics stationed at Addis Ababa Bole International Airport, a key regional transit hub, carry out continuous health screenings 24/7. </p>



<p>The government in the Horn of Africa country has closed schools nationwide and offered to transport people on government buses to ease congestion on public transport. </p>



<h3 class="wp-block-heading">RWANDA </h3>



<p>The East African country is flooding its capital, Kigali, with portable sinks for hand-washing at bus stops, restaurants, banks and shops. Schools, universities, churches and courts are closed nationwide. Some flights are suspended. </p>



<h3 class="wp-block-heading">CAMEROON </h3>



<p>From Wednesday, Cameroon, in central Africa, will close land, air and sea borders indefinitely, the government said in statement on Tuesday. International flights will be grounded, with the exception of cargo planes. Schools and restaurants will shut, and gatherings of more than 50 people are banned. </p>



<h3 class="wp-block-heading">LIBERIA </h3>



<p>The West African country is applying lessons learned fighting a devastating Ebola outbreak in 2014-15.  </p>



<p>“We were one of the first countries to start enhanced screening at the airport on Jan. 25,” said&nbsp;Mosoka P. Fallah, acting director general of the National Public Health Institute of Liberia. </p>



<p>More than 200 people have been trained as field epidemiologists and check for diseases in all 90 districts, said Tolbert Nyenswah, senior research associate at the Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health in the United States and former incident manager for Liberia’s Ebola response. </p>



<p>“If there is a case of a suspected disease, a sample is sent to a lab and tested.” </p>



<p>There are hand-washing stations at public places including stores, shops, schools, hospitals, restaurant and government offices. </p>



<h3 class="wp-block-heading">SENEGAL </h3>



<p>Has been taking all passengers’ temperatures since Jan. 28 and asks for contact details, so officials can reach them if someone else on the plane tests positive, a spokesman for Dakar airport said. </p>



<h3 class="wp-block-heading">GHANA </h3>



<p>Has implemented some of the most stringent measures in West Africa with a mandatory 14 days of quarantine for all people arriving from abroad. Travelers from countries with over 200 cases of coronavirus are barred from entering the country unless they are Ghanaian citizens or residents.</p>



<h3 class="wp-block-heading">MAURITANIA </h3>



<p>After confirming its first case on March 13, the West African country closed the international airport, suspended teaching in schools and universities, and banned weekly markets.  </p>



<h3 class="wp-block-heading">MADAGASCAR </h3>



<p>One of the world’s poorest countries, the island nation has suspended all flights for 30 days, a blow to its tourism industry. </p>

Clarification on COVID-19 “hotspots” as SA moves to level 3 lockdown

FACTBOX: What Africa is doing to fight coronavirus


<p>NAIROBI (Reuters) &#8211; Several African governments on Sunday closed borders, canceled flights and imposed strict entry and quarantine requirements to contain the spread of the new coronavirus, which has a foothold in at least 26 countries on the continent as cases keep rising.</p>



<p>South African President Cyril Ramaphosa declared a national state of disaster and warned the outbreak could have a “potentially lasting” impact on the continent’s most-developed economy, which is already in recession.  </p>



<p>Measures to be taken there include barring travel to and from countries such as Italy, Germany, China and the United States.  </p>



<p>“Any foreign national who has visited high-risk countries in the past 20 days will be denied a visa,” he said, adding that South Africans who visited targeted countries would be subjected to testing and quarantine when returning home. </p>



<p>South Africa, which has recorded 61 cases, will also prohibit gatherings of more than 100 people, Ramaphosa said. [nL8N2B8163] </p>



<p>Kenyan President Uhuru Kenyatta said his government was suspending travel from any country with reported COVID-19 cases.</p>



<p>“Only Kenyan citizens, and any foreigners with valid residence permits will be allowed to come in, provided they proceed on self-quarantine,” he told the nation in a televised address.  </p>



<p>The ban would take effect within 48 hours and remain in place for at least 30 days, he said.   </p>



<p>Schools should close immediately and universities by the end of the week, he added. Citizens would be encouraged to make cashless transactions to cut the risk of handling contaminated  money.  </p>



<p>Kenya and Ethiopia have now recorded three and four cases respectively, authorities in each nation said on Sunday, two days after they both reported their first cases.  </p>



<p>In West Africa, Ghana will ban entry from Tuesday to anyone who has been to a country with more than 200 coronavirus cases in the past 14 days, unless they are an official resident or Ghanaian national. Ghana has recorded six cases.     </p>



<p>President Nana Akufo-Addo said in a televised Sunday evening address that universities and schools will be closed from Monday until further notice. Public gatherings will be banned for four weeks, he said, though private burials are allowed for groups of less than 25 people.  </p>



<p>In southern Africa, Namibia ordered schools to close for a month after recording its first two cases on Saturday.  </p>



<p>Djibouti, which has no confirmed case of COVID-19, said on Sunday it was suspending all international flights. Tanzania, which also has no cases yet, canceled flights to India and suspended school games.  </p>



<p>Other nations have also shuttered schools, canceled religious festivals and sporting events to minimize the risk of transmission. Some 156,500 people worldwide have been infected and almost 6,000 have died. [nL4N2AY3AS] </p>

African nations close borders, cancel flights amid coronavirus pandemic


<p>LIBREVILLE/ACCRA (Reuters) &#8211; Gabon and Ghana confirmed their first cases of coronavirus on Thursday, becoming the ninth and tenth countries in sub-Saharan Africa to register positive cases. </p>



<p>The region has so far been less badly hit by coronavirus than Europe or China. Ivory Coast, Nigeria, Senegal, Cameroon, Togo, South Africa, Burkina Faso and Democratic Republic of Congo have also registered cases. </p>



<p>In a statement, Gabon’s government said its case was a 27-year-old Gabonese man who had returned from France on March 8.  </p>



<p>Ghana’s health ministry said its two cases were people who had returned recently from Norway and Turkey. </p>



<p>“These are imported cases of COVID-19. Both patients are currently being kept in isolation and are stable,” the ministry said in a statement. </p>



<p>More than 127,000 people have been infected globally and over 4,700 have died since the virus first emerged in China late last year, according to a Reuters tally. </p>



<p>Sub-Saharan Africa did not confirm its first coronavirus infection until Feb. 28 in Nigeria, but experts warn that rising cases could test already fragile health systems. </p>
