Summary
I am really afraid for my country.”Even some religious leaders in Senegal are still urging their followers to stay home: The Cheikh-Oumar-Foutiyou mosque in Dakar remained closed even after the president’s announcement because the COVID-19 threat “is not yet totally under control,” according to a statement put out before anyone showed up for prayers Friday.Where bans have remained in place in West Africa, the restrictions have been contentious.
