Africa needs to 'triple its testing', 'US picks companies to develop vaccine' - International Covid-19 news

The International Monetary Fund (IMF) on Thursday warned that the coronavirus could further weaken sub-Saharan Africa's ability to adapt to climate change, as measures to contain the pandemic stretch limited resources.

Africa needs to triple its coronavirus testing in the coming months \"to move ahead of the curve\" as more countries ease lockdown measures, the director of the Africa Centres for Disease Control and Prevention said Thursday.

RECAP | State of Disaster extended, Cabinet  to appeal High Court's lockdown regulations judgment

The ruling by Judge Norman Davis that regulations for Level 3 and 4 of the lockdown were unconstitutional and invalid will be taken on appeal, government has decided.

Why lockdown judgment opens up the possibility for more lawsuits against government

In his judgment, handed down on Tuesday, Judge Norman Davis found that many of the promulgated regulations for Level 3 and 4 of the lockdown were not rationally connected to the objectives of slowing the rate of infection or limiting the spread of the virus.
