Why COVID-19 is Not Raging in the Central African Republic
The Central African Republic is near the bottom of every major economic or development indicator. It is also a country that is emerging from civil war.
Despite these challenges, the COVID-19 pandemic is not raging out of control in CAR. This is in part due to the work of Dr. Marie Roseline Belizaire, a Haitian epidemiologist with the World Health Organization who was deployed to the Central African Republic early in the pandemic to assist the country with COVID -19 preparedness and response plan.
