Abstract

With a sharp rise in Covid-19 cases, the claim that Namibia (and Africa in general) could emerge unscathed from Covid-19's second wave is crumbling down. The recent data indicates a second wave is with us. With that, unless immediate restrictive measures are implemented, we must brace for more hospitalisation and death than what the country experienced during the first wave in late July to mid-August this year. But what went wrong? In this piece, we are taking a deep look at the ministry of health data reported so far - from when the pandemic landed on our shore today.
