From the article:
Gyude Moore was a Liberian minister and senior adviser during the 2014 Ebola outbreak in West Africa. In a telephone press briefing Thursday by the Center for Global Development, he said social distancing measures would be effective only if paired with testing. Moore said that in African countries, where parts of the urban population live in crowded slums, testing is key.
“It’s important for us to be able to test them, first, to be able to get a good handle on the scale of the problem that we have, but second, so that we can be able to move to the second step, which is the isolation," Moore said. "So I’m worried about that. I’m worried about the testing capabilities.”
