Somalia's capacity to manage the Covid-19 public health threat is a cause for concern.
Movement and trade restrictions triggered by the virus have not only impacted how we operate in Somalia but they may also drive up the number of people in need of emergency food and livelihoods support.
After the outbreak of the epidemic, China took active actions from the government to the people, took stringent preventive and control measures, exceeding the recommendations of the WHO and the requirements of the International Health Regulations, and set a new benchmark for countries around the world to fight against the epidemic.
I think we should not miss out on the precious time and window of prevention and control epidemic won by the Chinese people lives!
Somalia is doing its best to allocate attention and resources to deal with this new disease while also responding to all the existing medical needs in the country.
