Cape Town — The COVID-19 pandemic is dominating the news headlines - and people’s thoughts.
As a pan-African website, allAfrica.com is focused on looking at the virus from a continental perspective.
We are concentrating on collating and curating news that is trustworthy, as a service to our readers. We take relevant content from 140 African news partners and our own reporters with the aim of providing a central and reliable source of news about the pandemic.
All our novel coronavirus content can be found on this page. https://allafrica.com/coronavirus/
To make it easier for our readers to find specific content, we use our In Focus pages to bring together articles on themes that we have identified as critical to understanding and dealing with the outbreak.
We update those pages on an ongoing basis as news comes in. Here’s a central list:
