Liberia Confronts the Coronavirus
b'
My guest today, Dr. Mosoka P Fallah is helping to lead Liberia\'s fight against COVID-19. He is an infectious disease and public health expert and is the\\xa0Director General National Public Health Institute of Liberia.\\xa0
Dr. Fallah was a key player in Liberia\'s successful suppression of Ebola in 2014, for which he was named as one of Time Magazine\'s Persons of the Year. I mention this because, as Dr. Fallah explains, Liberia\'s experience with Ebola is very much informative of how both government and society approach COVID-19. I kick off by asking him about the role of regional cooperation in the fight against COVID-19 before we dive into the situation in Liberia.
