Namibia, Kingdom of eSwatini, Ethiopia and Rwanda have all reported their first coronavirus cases over the last 48 hours
Namibia is the latest in a growing list of sub-Saharan African countries to report their first cases ofA couple from Spain who arrived in the Southern African country on Wednesday both tested positive and have been quarantined, Health Minister Kalumbi Shangula said on Saturday. Namibia, Kingdom of eSwatini, Ethiopia and Rwanda have all reported their first coronavirus cases over the last 48 hours amid mounting fears the pandemic could overwhelm the world’s poorest continent.
Namibian president Hage Geingob told a press conference on Saturday that the government would implement several measures to try and contain the outbreak, including banning all mass gatherings for 30 days and clamping down on travel to three countries. “The Namibian government is suspending inbound and outbound travel to and from Qatar, Ethiopia and Germany with immediate effect for a period of 30 days,” Geingob said.Independence Celebrations scheduled for March 21 have been cancelled, he added, though a swearing-in ceremony for his second and final term will go ahead.“Appropriate precautionary measures must be taken to protect Namibians from being affected by this virus,” Geingob said.

CyrilRamaphosa PresidencyZA please do something asifunukufa must SA have million people dead of this virus before banning the traveling 🤷
We could protest because that's the only protocol to making these exile soldier leaders to listen to the people who elected them. Ngoku se saba ku gula
We have 17 cases of coronovirus and our President says it to early to have travel ban 🙉🙉🙉
Sir_lifestyle You don't have to wait for an infection. You impose a travel ban before infections
CyrilRamaphosa uyabona abanye benza kanjani?
KhandaniM look at real leadership, 2 cases then imposes travel ban
Please call Matamela this side please
Wow and South Africa still have not
Namibia just recorded 2 cases now they imposed a travel ban. South Africa wants us infected so that Bidvest can make millions of sanitizers tenders. Ramaphosa is the most effective puppet president ever.
Can Exec President Rupert and his Co president Oppenheimer give Ramaphosa a go ahead to ban international travel. Especially European in-traveling? He's obviously waiting for a cue from them. covid19SA CoronaVirusSA
PresidencyZA DrZweliMkhize HomeAffairsSA
If only Employment Stats were being recorded as much as this weapon is being recorded South Africa would have been a world class Country.
Namibia cares
CyrilRamaphosa look at your friends
Imagine just two cases already precautions measure are taken while our president and health minister are still thinking about it !
People don't seem to realise that this is a delicate balancing act. We can't mess with the economy as most people are jobless. So far its been people from outside that came in and tested positive. Once it's transmitted within the country only then can we act.
South Africa at 38 and the President still hasn't received orders on travel bans
As long as SA hasn't imposed any bans, our neighboring countries are equally vulnerable
CyrilRamaphosa
It only required two
Some countries actually have leaders ...how I so wish to be a Namibian right now.
Drickz_ Fuck this leadership
2 people from spain...it did not develop in Namibia...colonizers are flocking to Africa to run from the virus...all they are doing is bringing it with them
Leadership
Kerotse_K Bona other kids CyrilRamaphosa
We need a new president in SA
And we still allow travelers to come in mzansi
Sophie_Mokoena That’s great. Best way. Not like us here in SA
SHELXY Was it a colonizer?
Our president still waiting for 100 and more cases before he bans the travel
CyrilRamaphosa
GovernmentZA
We was once here and our government said don't panic. We sitting at over 30 'reported' cases. Those people don't care about us. I hope they get it before us all lol
When things like this happens please tagramaphosa
Some countries have leaders unlike our country. Can't we fast-track to elections already
Namibia's government is definitely smarter😎😊 than this lot we have here 💩💩💩
I wish they can ban SAA too, coz most transiting passengers goes from SA and Ethiopia
SA will wait until the 1 millionth case before calling a travel ban, and even then we'll only be banning flights to and from Hawaii
Jokes aside,but is our president CyrilRamaphosa okay in the head or what
They imposed a ban on 3 countries... None of them being China, Italy or the USA
Ya ne our leadership.
Leadership hayi this leaderless country called SA
But Namibia did not ban travel from Italy, Iran and China. Their ban is useless.
We are still waiting for 1000 people to be infected first
Eloxesha thina its 38 and we carry on engathi akhonto e wrong. Hayi
Ramaphosa still consulting the president, in Stellenbosch
I feel for the poor in developing countries. Their health systems won’t be able to cope. coronavirus
