Containment as an Ethiopian COVID-19 response is still relevant: a response to Daniel Hailu

“The economic challenge and political unrest Ethiopia is facing should not be a reason not to improve the system. Every effort should be implemented to flatten the curve and ultimately decrease the number of total infections. Considering the limited tertiary health care system the country has, upscaling of the hospital care to address this pandemic cannot be a coherent and viable strategy. The economic recovery depends on a good public health strategy.”
