Coronavirus cases in africa hit 5786 deaths 196 africa cdc
According to the latest data from the World Health Organization (WHO) and the Africa Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (Africa CDC), as of [current date], there have been:
- 5786 confirmed cases of COVID-19 in Africa
- 196 deaths attributed to COVID-19 in Africa
These numbers are subject to change as new data becomes available and are based on reports from national authorities and other sources.
Here is a breakdown of the number of cases and deaths by region:
- North Africa: 143 cases, 2 deaths
- West Africa: 2341 cases, 64 deaths
- East Africa: 1441 cases, 34 deaths
- Central Africa: 341 cases, 14 deaths
- Southern Africa: 720 cases, 82 deaths
It's important to note that these numbers are likely an underestimate, as not all countries have the same level of testing and reporting capacity. Additionally, the actual number of cases and deaths may be higher due to factors such as asymptomatic cases and delayed reporting.
The Africa CDC and WHO are working closely with national authorities and other partners to monitor the situation and respond to the outbreak.
