Across the continent, Covid-19 cases rose by 36% on average last week.
Those figures might have sounded scary a couple of years ago.
But the World Health Organization expects Covid related deaths to drop by 94% this year.
Many countries have dropped restrictions related to the pandemic.
In Botswana though, a mask mandate remains in place.
The US Centre for Disease Control raised concern about the number of cases there in June.
So, is Covid-19 still a serious threat for Africa? And when might Botswana be able to drop it’s last restrictions?
