Namibian President Urges Vigilance Against Second Wave of COVID-19

Namibian President Hage Geingob has called for vigilance against the possible emergence of a second wave of COVID-19 infections in the southern African country.

He attributed the drop in positive cases in Namibia over the past four weeks to collective efforts against COVID-19.

Namibia will gradually re-open its borders on the basis of reciprocity, resume social activities, including contact sports activities and re-open face-to-face instruction for schools and colleges where social distancing is feasible.

Namibia has so far reported 12,367 confirmed COVID-19 cases. Of these, 10,528, or 85% have recovered, while 1,707, or 14% remain active.

The number of deaths related to the pandemic stands at 132.
