BUSIA, Kenya (IDN) \u2013 It is a hot afternoon at a bus station at Mungatsi market centre, Nambale Sub-County, in Busia County, Western Kenya. Many people, many travellers, are queuing to wash their hands.

NEW YORK (IDN) \u2013 While Africa, like the international community on the whole, is engaged in a tough fight against the coronavirus, a World Health Organization (WHO<\/a>) expert has called into question frightening estimates of those affected by COVID-19. At the same time, Ghana in a surprise move has ordered a partial lift of the lockdown. The pandemic virus is luring Rwanda into massive \u2018loans\u2019 under the garb of debt reduction.\u00a0CHINESE<\/a>\u00a0|\u00a0<\/a>HINDI<\/a>\u00a0|\u00a0JAPANESE<\/a>\u00a0|\u00a0SWAHILI<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

COVID-19 Could Lead to Better Protection of Biodiversity and Wild Animals<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

By Kalinga Seneviratne<\/p>\n\n\n\n

SYDNEY (IDN) \u2013 A positive outcome of the COVID-19 pandemic could be a better understanding of protecting biodiversity and a global ban on the trade in wild animals for food. The belief that COVID-19 began at a \u201cwet market\u201d in Wuhan in China, where wild animals were being sold for human consumption, has led to the Chinese government banning the trade in wild animals and a growing international campaign for this to be made into an enforceable international law.\u00a0ARABIC<\/a>\u00a0|\u00a0CHINESE<\/a>\u00a0|\u00a0INDONESIAN<\/a>\u00a0|\u00a0JAPANESE<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n
