The spread of COVID-19 poses a challenge for emerging markets such as those in Africa and Latin America. While governments around the world are suffering from a shortage of ventilators, hospital beds, and personal protective equipment, availability of these items is already extremely limited in some... countries. In Africa, countries including Mali, Liberia, and Burkina Faso have only a few ventilators available to aid their populations, and there is also a lack of reliable oxygen supplies, ICUs, and healthcare workers to treat the sick. Additionally, many countries in Africa are already suffering from food insecurity and weak economies, which will worsen the long-term effects of coronavirus.
Keeping these factors in mind, GeoPoll conducted a remote study in 12 countries in sub-Saharan Africa on the effects coronavirus is already having on people throughout the region.

La prevención de un brote de una enfermedad prevenible mediante vacunación no solo salva vidas, sino que requiere menos recursosque la respuesta al brote y ayuda a reducir la carga que supone para los sistemas de salud, los cuales ya están sometidos a una fuerte presión por la pandemia de COVID-19. En sus esfuerzos por mantener los sistemas de inmunización, los países deben adoptar enfoques que respeten el principio de «no hacer daño» y limiten la transmisión de la COVID-19 durante la realización de actividades de inmunización. Las visitas para la administración de vacunas también pueden ser una ocasión para divulgar mensajes que fomenten comportamientos que reducen el riesgo de transmisión del virus de la COVID-19 y para proporcionar orientaciones sobre las medidas que deben adoptarse si se observan síntomas.
