Across Africa at least 32 per cent of the population do not have enough information about Coronavirus including how it spreads and how to protect themselves.

According to a joint report released by Partnership for Evidence Based Response to Covid-19 (PERC) that cuts across 20 AU member states, 62 per cent of the population believe that Covid-19 will have a major impact on their country but only 44 per cent believe it is a threat to them personally.
