  • Urgent dental care for patients during the COVID-19 pandemic

    Manas Dave，Noha Seoudi，Paul Coulthard

    Published:April 03, 2020DOI:https://doi.org/10.1016/S0140-6736(20)30806-0

    During the initial phase of a pandemic, when a vaccine is not available, personal protective equipment (PPE)1 plays a major part in disease control. Dental and oral surgery procedures using drills or ultrasonic devices cause aerosol release, and routine dentistry has therefore been suspended in several countries, including the UK, to reduce virus transmission. There is an urgent need for organised emergency dental care delivered by teams provided with appropriate PPE.2 This also allows for redistribution of PPE to urgent care when there is inevitably an initial shortage and distribution challenge.

    • Preparedness is essential for malaria-endemic regions during the COVID-19 pandemic Jigang Wang，Chengchao Xu，Yin Kwan Wong，Yingke He，Ayôla A Adegnika，Peter G Kremsner Published:March 16, 2020DOI:https://doi.org/10.1016/S0140-6736(20)30561-4 The coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic that first emerged in Wuhan in China's Hubei province1 has quickly spread to the rest of China and many other countries. Within 3 months, more than 125?000 people have been infected and the death toll had reached over 4600 worldwide on March 12, 2020.2 In an attempt to contain the virus, the Chinese Government has made unprecedented efforts and invested enormous resources and these containment efforts have stemmed the spread of the disease.3 As of March 12, 2020, malaria-endemic regions in Africa have reported a few imported COVID-19 cases including in Nigeria, Senegal, and the Democratic Republic of the Congo.2 Africa needs to be prepared to deal with COVID-19, given the infectious potential of the disease and its capacity to undermine malaria control efforts.4 In addition to the shared vigilance that countries around the world should maintain, regions need to consider their local malaria epidemic and take additional measures for preparation.

    • Preparing African anticancer centres in the COVID-19 outbreak Amine Souadka，Amine Benkabbou，Brahim Al Ahmadi，Saber Boutayeb，Mohammed，Anass Majbar Published:April 03, 2020DOI:https://doi.org/10.1016/S1470-2045(20)30216-3 We congratulate Wenhua Liang and colleagues for their Comment laying out the strategic policies against cancer during the COVID-19 outbreak.1 The disease is now spreading rapidly to and within Africa. Like other countries, Morocco had the opportunity to analyse early COVID-19 data and acknowledge that individual-scale policies such as isolation would not stop the pandemic. Morocco adopted large-scale drastic measures early, including constraining mobility with a mandatory restrictive housing and curfew, despite the low number of cases (starting from 60 cases) compared with Europe. We expect that COVID-19 will have a major impact on African countries, with the risk of a rapid health-care system shutdown, due to a pre-existing shortage in material (eg, intensive-care unit beds or protective equipment) and human resources.
