WHO, Lagos State Government and the NCDC are agreed that COVID-19 pandemic’s third wave has made landfall – even as the deadlier Delta variant sneaks into the country. Louis Achi writes A statement by the World Health Organisation (WHO) regional office in Africa disclosed the continent is currently facing its third wave of the Covid-19 pandemic with resurgence in 12 African countries. “Africa is facing a fast-surging third wave of COVID-19 pandemic, with cases spreading more rapidly and projected to soon overtake the peak of the second wave the continent witnessed at the start of 2021,” the agency stated. WHO Regional Director for Africa, Dr. Matshidiso Moeti, had stated late last month, “The third wave is picking up speed, spreading faster, hitting harder. With rapidly rising case numbers and increasing reports of serious illness, the latest surge threatens to be Africa’s worst yet.”
