What to do to slowdown the spread of Covid-19?

How to slow down the spread of Covid-19? Wearing of facial mask!

Since March 2020, most of the countries in Europe, America and Africa lockdown their populations to slow the spread of Covid-19. In addition, the following measures have been taken :  social distancing, lockdown of non-essential businesses, closing of all school and stay at home policy for all. A recent study from DS institute argue that for countries with a large informal sector, only the mandatory wearing of the facial mask will be more efficient to reduce the spread of the Covid-19 without crushing the economies.

What do DS institute do to help?

As most of the countries close their borders and international travel is not possible, DS Institute has been working on 2 key projects: (i) an estimation of the potential impacts of the Covid-19 on West Africa countries; (ii) the development of a website to allow professional experts to support people online. These two projects will be release on Tuesday, May 12th 2020.
