Sub-Saharan Africa braces for full-fledged virus outbreak

After escaping mostly unscathed by the coronavirus pandemic, sub-Saharan Africa is bracing for the worst after its first outbreaks of the illness that has already engulfed China and Italy and spread to other parts of the globe. Coronavirus has so far only been reported in thirteen sub-Saharan African countries and no deaths have yet been recorded. South Africa's President Cyril Ramaphosa warned the outbreak could turn into a "national crisis" after the country confirmed its first case earlier this month.
