The Sudanese government does not seek to impose a second lockdown to prevent the spread of COVID-19, although the second wave of the corona pandemic is more severe in Sudan than the first.
Prime Minister Abdallah Hamdok said this during an interview with the national Sudan satellite TV channel yesterday.
The final decision about a second lockdown is linked to the development of the pandemic. Hamdok said he hopes that his government will not be forced to impose a second lockdown as the first lockdown had a huge negative impact on the Sudanese economy and the living conditions of the people. Also, it reduced state revenues by 42 per cent.
