081 – COVID-19 in Lesotho and Southern Africa

As of recording, there were no confirmed cases of COVID-19 in Lesotho, a country in southern Africa. But the country borders South Africa which has close to 5,000 cases, and shares a migrant workforce that has been coming home to Lesotho amidst shutdowns. Dr. Tafadzwa Chakare, technical director for Jhpiego in Lesotho, talks with guest host Dr. Sara Bennett about the challenges of managing the pandemic in highly mobile, migrant populations.
