10 countries account for 80% of COVID-19 cases in Africa –WHO

The World Health Organisation Regional Office for Africa in Brazzaville, Congo, says 10 out of 54 countries are currently leading with highest numbers of COVID-19 infections in Africa and accounts for nearly 80 per cent of all the cases.

She said over 215,000 cases have been confirmed so far, with over 5,800 deaths and 98,000 recoveries as of Friday, June 12. “More than 70 per cent of the deaths are taking place in only five countries: Algeria, Egypt, Nigeria, South Africa, and Sudan. “But the pace of the spread is quickening. Swift and early action by African countries has helped to keep numbers low but constant vigilance is needed to stop COVID-19 from overwhelming health facilities,” she advised.

“With the support of WHO and other partners, governments also rapidly started to scale up health workforce and laboratory capacities and to set up points-of-entry screening at airports and border crossings. Moeti observed that “Stay-at-home orders and closing of markets and businesses have taken a heavy toll, particularly on the most vulnerable and marginalized communities.
