Burkina Faso coronavirus death toll is 52

Burkina Faso Coronavirus Covid-19 death toll has reached 52. Burkina Faso has total confirmed virus cases of 832.

Burkina Faso is trying to contain COVID-19 and prevent further spread of the virus.

The government last month ordered citizens to wear masks and gave them more than a week to prepare. However, few people have complied with this order.

Authorities ordered a curfew at some point, but it was later relaxed. Schools were scheduled to reopen last week. However, they were ordered to stay closed until June 1.

The daily new Coronavirus Covid-19 cases seem to be decreasing now in Burkina Faso. The country plans to ramp up testing for the coronavirus. The pandemic is expected to continue for months.

African nations are weaker at creating greater virus-testing ability. Wealthy nations such as the USA and China are bidding for many of the same stockpiles of testing kits.
