Somalia’s capacity to manage the Covid-19 public health threat is a cause for concern. Grounds for hope still exist that Somalia may escape the type of outbreak that has overwhelmed some Western health systems. I believe, as a country, if we follow this we will be able to flatten the curve in Somalia. The country is also engaging with communities to ensure they are aware of ways to minimise the risk of infection. Frontline healthcare professionals and other workers must be protected and receive adequate training on preparedness and prevention of the coronavirus.
