On November 14, 2023, President Julius Maada Bio received two significant reports from the National COVID-19 Emergency Response Center, NaCOVERC. The reports, the Intra-Action Review Report (IAR) and the National COVID-19 Report for the period 2020-2022, detail the findings of an IAR that was undertaken on September 22 and 23, 2020, to review the COVID-19 response in Sierra Leone.
The reports found that Sierra Leone’s response to the COVID-19 pandemic was effective and earned the admiration of the world.
In particular, the reports praised the country’s use of a multi-sectoral approach, led by the presidential task force, which provided crucial strategic direction. The reports also noted the seamless coordination between the military, police, and health authorities, which set a precedent for other nations.
President Bio thanked the NaCOVERC team for their hard work and dedication. He also praised the roles played by the police, healthcare workers, and Paramount Chiefs for their contributions to the country’s COVID-19 response.
The NaCOVERC reports are a valuable resource that will help Sierra Leone continue to improve its COVID-19 response. The reports provide a comprehensive overview of the country’s efforts to combat the pandemic, and they identify areas where improvements can be made. The reports should be used to inform future COVID-19 response planning and implementation.
In addition to the NaCOVERC reports, President Bio also received an update on the country’s COVID-19 vaccination program. As of November 14, 2023, over 2 million people in Sierra Leone have been vaccinated against COVID-19. The vaccination program is making good progress, and it is expected to reach all eligible Sierra Leoneans by the end of 2023.
President Bio expressed his satisfaction with the progress of the COVID-19 vaccination program. He also urged all Sierra Leoneans to get vaccinated to protect themselves and their families from the virus.
