Senegalese President announced the re-opening of mosques and churches and the easing of other restrictions imposed to contain the coronavirus, even as the largest one-day jump in cases was recorded on May 11th. Senegal has recorded 1,886 coronavirus cases in total, including 19 deaths.
Sall, like other leaders in West Africa, has confronted public pressure to find more sustainable ways to balance public health with economic realities in the face of an epidemic that the WHO has warned could drag on across Africa for years.
