However, the fact

Corona virus has reached Africa

Corona virus has reached Africa

More and more people are infected with the Corona virus on the African continent. Experts fear an outbreak like in Europe. Scientists previously suspected that Africa might be untroubled by the virus. However, first assumptions that warmer temperatures might slow down the virus have not been proven.
