The African Centres for Disease Control and Prevention (Africa CDC) says the continent has seen a 20% drop in the number of new Covid-19 cases over the last week.

While this is potentially good news, Africa CDC warns that it shouldn't be taken at face value, as it could be down to less widespread testing in some countries.

Many African countries, for example, have abandoned random testing and are only testing in areas where cases have already been reported.

The Africa CDC is also concerned about rising daily cases in Tunisia, Morocco, Uganda and Burkina Faso. It says that eastern and northern African regions are still recording increases in new infections.

There have now been more than 1.2 million confirmed cases of the virus on the African continent and more than 28,000 deaths.
