Non-SHEF2 model related containment and control measures against COVID-19 in Africa. Pan Africa Medical Journal. 2020;35(2):86 DOI: 10.11604/pamj.supp.2020.35.24061.1937-8688 (online)10.11604/pamj.supp.2020.35.24061http://hdl.handle.net/2263/80862COVID-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.en© Frankline Sevidzem Wirsiy et al.
