South Sudan: ICRC working to sensitise prison inmates about Covid-19

In South Sudan - the International Committee of the Red Cross is working with the government to educate the population in their preparedness if the virus arrives in the country.

The committee is also specifically looking at what can be done in prisons – we hear from the Head of the ICRC mission in South Sudan about what kind of things they are doing already.

Plus, Tanzania's Speaker of Parliament, Job Ndugai says that strategies applied in the West against Covid-19 containment may not be suitable for Africa.

And a story of hope from South Africa, as of the over 800,000 thousand who have contracted coronavirus there, nearly 200,000 have now recovered.
