“We Need To Act Now” As Sub-Saharan Africa Faces Third Wave of Covid-19
Feature, Headlines / July 26, 2021 July 26, 2021 / 7 minutes of reading
Sub-Saharan Africa is in the grips of a third wave of COVID-19 infections that threatens to be even more brutal than the two that came before.
This is yet more evidence of a dangerous divergence in the global economy. One track for countries with good access to vaccines, where strong recoveries are taking hold. And another for those countries that are still waiting and at risk of falling further behind.
The growth of infections in sub-Saharan Africa is now the fastest in the world, with an explosive trajectory that is outpacing the record set in the second wave. At this pace, this new wave will likely surpass previous peaks in a matter of days and in some countries, infections are already more than double, or even triple, their January peaks.
