<p class="has-drop-cap">World Health Organization (WHO) has warned that the Africa continent could see as many as 10 million coronavirus cases in the next three months.</p>



<p>In a report prepared by the U.N. Economic Commission for Africa (UNECA), the UN agency said over 300,000 Africans will die because of Coronavirus before July this year.</p>



<p>Africa’s 54 countries have so far reported fewer than 20,000 confirmed cases of the disease, just a fraction of the more than two million cases reported globally.</p>

<p>UNECA is also backing a call by African finance ministers for an additional $100 billion in stimulus, which would include a halt to all external debt service.</p>
