Title ProperCOVID-19 in Ebola’s Wake
Other Title Informationsafe haven in Sierra Leone?
LanguageENG
AuthorBenton, Adia
Summary / Abstract (Note)Like other African nations, Sierra Leone seemed to avoid the worst pandemic scenarios. Its previous experience with Ebola may have led to improved preparedness in the health system. But the government has once again reverted to a militarized response, and elites returning from international travel may pose a risk of spreading the coronavirus. The author also reflects on the challenges of tracking the situation from afar, in the midst of a global crisis, and critically assesses Western media coverage of African public health issues.
