I know we’ve heard a lot about Europe, Asian and America but does anyone know the situation is in Africa? I know the climate is different there but also in some parts, the sanitation and health care is poorer.
I’ve heard nothing so wondered if the crisis was a much smaller scale there.

Who have released information today that says there is no evidence to suggest Corona doesn't survive in warm climates.

There's a section in this on Africa. It's spread there rapidly. Sorry it wouldn't let me paste just the section! It was reported at 15:46

Probably because they don't have the same facilities for testing. According to the who, coronavirus testing should be set up across Africa. Nations 'within the next two weeks'. It could be prevalent there already, we just don't know

I was in Dubai until Monday and it was 30c and they have the virus there, so unsure how the heat kills it off
