    The outbreak of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) is of international concern. We appreciated the Comment from Wenhua Liang and colleagues1 published in The Lancet Oncology on Feb 14, 2020, which, to the best of our knowledge, was the first to focus on COVID-19 infection in patients with cancer.

Of 1590 cases with confirmed coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19), 18 patients had a history of cancer. The authors concluded that patients with cancer had a higher risk of COVID-19 and with a poorer prognosis than those without cancer.

    • 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.
