Episode Description
The total number of confirmed corona virus cases in China stands at over twenty-thousand as of Tuesday morning, an increase of three thousand two hundred and thirty five on the previous day. Meanwhile the death toll is now at over four hundred in China, an increase of around sixty five from Sunday. As the death toll in China rises fears are growing over Africa’s ability to protect its citizens from the rapidly spreading coronavirus epidemic as the World Health Organisation (WHO) declared the outbreak a public health emergency of international concern.
