Written Evidence Submitted by Professor Anthony Costello and UCL Colleagues (FRC0001)
Written evidence submitted by Professor Anthony Costello and UCL colleagues (FRC0001) Thank you for the opportunity to submit written evidence to the Committee in response to the questions you have sent to me. We have not attempted to address every point comprehensively but have provided brief responses to your questions below based on my views and this of UCL colleagues. I would be pleased to discuss any of these further. This submission has been developed with input from UCL colleagues including: Professor Di Gibb, Dr Lu Gram, Professor Ilan Kelman, Dr Alexis Palfreyman, Professor Audrey Prost, Professor Max Parmar, Dr Sarah Petts, Dr Ed Fottrell, Sarah Chaytor and Dr Naomi Saville. 1. What regions or countries in the developing world are best equipped to manage a major outbreak of COVID-19? What regions or countries are most at risk, and why? The approach of many African countries seems to have slowed the development of coronavirus. This includes: shutting borders, testing new arrivals, use of quarantine, and contact track and trace. This is supplemented by clear guidelines and briefing documents. Some countries may benefit from prior experience of managing other pandemics (for example Ebola outbreaks in Uganda, HIV, and TB). Whilst some African countries have initiated lockdowns, these are unlikely to be sustained for long given the significant economic hardship, especially for the most vulnerable, and impact on food and essential medicine supply (including for HIV). Nonetheless the World Health Organization is now forecasting that 250 million people in sub-Saharan Africa will be infected with coronavirus in the next year. -
