Cases of Coronavirus now 1,000 on African Continent!





Associated Press OUAGADOUGOU, Burkina Faso (AP) -  Africa's cases of the coronavirus have risen above 1,000. Two heads of state appeared to defy their own travel restrictions to attend another president's inauguration on Saturday. And Angola announced its first cases. That means at least 40 of Africa's 54 countries are now affected. Congo reported its first death; Burkina Faso reported two new ones. Ivory Coast was the latest to announce it's closing its borders. And Ethiopia's electoral authorities discussed the virus' effect on a major national election later this year.
