The European Union is to set up 15 billion euros ($16.4 billion) to enable poor nations to battle the coronavirus pandemic, the alliance's boss reported on Tuesday.

European Commission head Ursula von der Leyen said the cash would assist nations with feeble social insurance frameworks to handle the effect of COVID-19 and help their long haul monetary recuperation.

Beating the pandemic in Europe alone isn't sufficient, authorities state, calling attention to that if coronavirus keeps on seething somewhere else on the planet, it will essentially return in time.

"We will just win this fight with a planned worldwide reaction," von der Leyen said in a video posted on Twitter.

This is the reason the European Union is tying down more than 15 billion euros to help our accomplices worldwide to battle coronavirus." The short video didn't give subtleties of where the cash would originate from nor which nations would profit.

Be that as it may, authorities have recently recognized Africa as a worry as a result of its connection to Europe and the poor condition of social insurance in a significant number of its nations.

A senior EU official a week ago cautioned it would be "totally pointless" to vanquish coronavirus in Europe on the off chance that it just reappeared from close by nations attempting to contain it.

"Africa could encounter similar issues that we are looking in Europe surprisingly fast," von der Leyen said in her video on Tuesday."They need our assistance to hinder the spread of the infection as we required assistance right now."

Europe has been the focal point of the infection as of late however a week ago the EU's conciliatory boss Josep Borrell cautioned the infection could "gain out of power quickly" in Africa.

EU improvement priests will meet by video approach Wednesday to examine subtleties of monetary assistance for the helpless nation
