RE: STATEMENT ON CONGRESS 2020

On behalf of the WCPT Africa Board, Local Organizing Committee (LOC) and Scientific Committeee of Congress 2020, I present another update concerning Congress 2020 in the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic.  

We believe you are in good health and staying safe.  

As indicated in March 2020, the evolving nature of the pandemic was being monitored and analyzed to enable us provide updates. A major and critical eview of the COVID-19 situation has been jointly undertaken recently to help determine our next steps.  

In view of the latest developments worldwide the following is decided;

• The Benin 2020 Congress is postponed to 2021 but will still be called Benin 2020  
• The new date is October 28 to 31, 2021  
• Further statements will be released as and when necessary  

Thank you

Jonathan Quartey  

Chair, WCPT Africa Board.
