Amatyala e-COVID-19 anyukile kangangeeveki ezintlanu zilandelelana ukusukela oko laqala iliza lesithathu nge-3 Meyi 2021. Ukusukela nge-20 kaJuni-usuku lwe-48 kumaza amatsha-i-Afrika ibirekhode malunga ne-474 000 yamatyala amatsha -onyuka ngama-21% xa kuthelekiswa Iintsuku zokuqala ezingama-48 zeliza lesibini. Kwinqanaba langoku losulelo, ukonyuka okuqhubekayo kucwangciselwe ukugqitha eyangaphambili kwangoko ngoJulayi.

Ubhubhane uvela kwakhona kumazwe ayi-12 ase-Afrika. Umdibaniso wezinto kubandakanya ukuthathelwa ingqalelo okubuthathaka kwamanyathelo ezempilo oluntu okwandileyo kokunxibelelana kwezentlalo, kunye nentshukumo kunye nokusasazeka kwezinto ezahlukeneyo kunika amandla ukunyuka okutsha. Kwi-Democratic Republic yaseCongo nase-Uganda abafumana ukuvuselelwa kwakhona kwe-COVID-19, ukwahluka kweDelta kuye kwafunyanwa kwiisampulu ezininzi ezilandelelweyo kwinyanga ephelileyo. Kuyo yonke iAfrika, okwahlukileyo-okokuqala kuchongwa e-India-kuye kwabikwa kumazwe ali-14. 

"Iliza lesithathu lithatha isantya, lisasazeka ngokukhawuleza, libetha kakhulu. Ngokukhula ngokukhawuleza kwamanani amatyala kunye neengxelo ezandayo zokugula kakhulu, olu gqirha lutshanje lusoyikisa ngokuba lolona lubi e-Afrika, utshilo uGqirha Matshidiso Moeti, uMlawuli we-World Health Organisation (WHO) we-Afrika. “I-Afrika isengayichaza impembelelo yezi zifo zikhula ngokukhawuleza, kodwa iwindow yamathuba iyavalwa. Wonke umntu kuyo yonke indawo angazenzela nto ngokuthatha amanyathelo okhuseleko ukuthintela usasazo. ”

I-WHO ithumela iingcali ezininzi kumazwe athile achaphazeleke kakhulu, kubandakanya iUganda neZambia kunye nokuxhasa iilabhoratri zommandla ezise Mzantsi Afrika ukubeka esweni izinto ezixhalabisayo. I-WHO ikwonyusa inkxaso yetekhnoloji entsha kwezinye iilebhu kulo mmandla ngaphandle kokulandelelana kwamandla okujonga ngcono ukuvela kwentsholongwane. Kwiinyanga ezintandathu ezizayo, i-WHO ijonge ukwanda okuphindwe kalishumi ukuya kwishumi kwiisampulu ezilandelelaniswa inyanga nenyanga kumazwe akumazantsi eAfrika.

Ukunyuka kwe-COVID-19 kuza njengoko ukuhanjiswa kwesitofu sokugonya kuyaqhubeka. Amazwe alishumi elinesibhozo ase-Afrika asebenzise ngaphezulu kwe-80% yezixhobo zabo zokugonya ze-COVAX, ezisibhozo bazigqibile isitokhwe sabo. Amazwe angamashumi amabini anesithoba anikezele ngeenkonzo ngaphezulu kweepesenti ezingama-50. Ngaphandle kwenkqubela phambili, ngaphezulu nje kwe-1% yabemi baseAfrika abagonyiwe ngokupheleleyo. Kumhlaba jikelele, kumyinge we-2.7 yezigidigidi ezilawulwayo ezilawulwayo, eziphantsi nje kwe-1.5% ziye zenziwa kwilizwekazi.

Njengamazwe amaninzi anengeniso ephezulu agonyela inani elikhulu labantu, ubungqina bokugonywa kukhokelela kuthintelo lokuhamba oluncinci. Kumhlaba jikelele, amazwe ali-16 ayayeka ukuvalelwa yedwa kwabo banesatifikethi sokugonya. Amanyathelo okuthintela usasazo lwe-COVID-19 abalulekile, kodwa kumazwe amaninzi ase-Afrika anokufikelela okulinganiselweyo kwizitofu zokugonya, kubalulekile ukuba izitofu zokugonya zibe yenye yeemeko ezisetyenziswa ngamazwe ukuvula imida kunye nokonyusa inkululeko yokuhamba.

“Ngamazinga aphezulu okugonya abumba ihlobo lenkululeko, usapho kunye nolonwabo kwizigidi zabantu kumazwe atyebileyo. Iyaqondakala le nto kwaye silangazelela ulonwabo olufanayo, ”utshilo uGqirha Moeti. “Ukunqongophala kwesitofu sokunyanga sele kwandisa iintlungu ze-COVID-19 e-Afrika. Masingongezi ukonzakala. Abantu baseAfrika akufuneki bajongane nezithintelo ezingakumbi kuba abakwazi ukufikelela kwizitofu zokugonya ezifumaneka kwenye indawo. Ndibongoza zonke iiarhente ezilawulayo zommandla nezikazwelonke ukuba ziqonde zonke izitofu zokuSebenzisa ngokungxamisekileyo ezidweliswe yi-WHO. ”

Kwi-European Union, inkqubo yokundwendwela ye-COVID-19 yokugonya, ukuvavanya nokubuyisela kwimeko yesiqhelo iya kuqala ukusebenza nge-1 Julayi. Nangona kunjalo, zine kuphela izitofu zokugonya ezidweliswe yi-WHO ukuze zisetyenziswe ngexesha likaxakeka ezamkelwa yi-Arhente yamaYeza yaseYurophu kwinkqubo yencwadana yokundwendwela.

I-WHO kunye ne-Arhente yamaYeza yaseYurophu basebenzisa imigangatho efanayo ekuvavanyeni izitofu zokugonya. Abavelisi banokukhetha ukungafaki isicelo kwiArhente yamaYeza yaseYurophu ukuba abazimisele ukuthengisa iimveliso zabo kumazwe akwiManyano yaseYurophu okanye iNdawo yezoQoqosho yaseYurophu. Kodwa ukhuseleko kunye nokusebenza kwawo onke amayeza okugonya ka-WHO adwelisiweyo kungqinwe kwihlabathi liphela ekuthinteleni ukugula nokufa kwe-COVID-19.

EAfrika, kuvavanyo lwe-WHO lwamazwe angama-45 lubonisa ukuba imida yabo ivulelwe ukuhamba ngenqwelomoya kwaye yiMauritius kuphela eyakudinga ubungqina bokugonywa kubahambi bamazwe aphesheya ukusukela nge-15 kaJulayi 2021. Uninzi lwamazwe aluniki kukhululo lokuvalelwa lodwa kubahambi abagonywe ngokupheleleyo i-COVID- 19 kwaye ufuna uvavanyo olubi lwe-COVID-19.
