World Health Organisation (WHO) Africa Regional director, Dr Matshidiso Moeti, says the continent is on course to controlling the COVID-19 pandemic.
She was speaking as the continent is about to observe two years since the first case of COVID-19 was identified on 14 February.
Since then, at least 11 million cases and 242 000 deaths as a result of the virus have been recorded in Africa.
“If the current trends hold, there is light at the end of the tunnel. As long as we remain vigilant and act intensively, particularly on vaccinations, the continent is on track for controlling the pandemic,” she said.
Moeti reflected that the past two years have been “extremely difficult” for the continent.
