dc.description.abstract |
COVID-19 Pandemic has the potential to overwhelm the underserved
health care systems of African countries characterized by inadequate
infrastructure and too few medical personnel. In responding to the
COVID-19 Pandemic, many African countries are using a combination of
containment and mitigation activities but in this commentary, we focus on
what we term the Non-SHEF2 (S: Social distancing, H: Hands, E: Elbows,
F: Face, F: Feel) model related control and containment measures which
include seven key measures against COVID-19 doped ‘TITHQC2’ namely,
T: Travel-related measures, I: Information and guidance, T: Treatment;
H: Hospital containment measures; Q: Quarantine, C: Community
containment measures, C: Case detection and contact tracing. COVID-19
is a reality and demands rapid and decisive action to be taken. |
