YouTube Description

as posted by the channel

Coronavirus has the potential to devastate Africa but in comparison to Europe and the US, the number of infections hasn't rocketed - yet.

Medics across the continent say their countries are unprepared for the pandemic and measures like lockdowns will be almost impossible to enforce.

Sky News' Africa correspondent John Sparks investigates how the continent will cope when coronavirus takes hold.
