There has been a lot of information about the travel restrictions in place because of the coronavirus, and of businesses closing down because of it - but what does this all mean for workers around the continent? Are the legal safeguards in place to protect them from being sacked if they can't come in to work, for example? Are their adequate health and safety laws that mean employers are taking precautions to minimise the risk of infection? We speak to Steven De Backer, CEO of Afriwise - an online platform that provides advice for businesses on legal issues such as these. (Photo: Man counting local Ethiopian currency birr notes.
