94% DROP IN COVID DEATHS IN AFRICA BY 2022, WHO ANALYSIS SHOWS

Thu 02 June 2022:

The World Health Organization (WHO) announced on Thursday that COVID-19 deaths on the African continent are likely to drop by nearly 94 percent in 2022 compared to last year, citing its own modeling.

Although African countries struggled early in the pandemic to secure COVID vaccines as rich countries hoarded available doses, many are now well-supplied with shots but are having difficulties getting them into arms. The reasons include hesitancy and logistics.

As of the end of May, Africa had reported over 11.8 million confirmed COVID cases and more than 250,000 deaths, according to data from the WHO Africa’s office, which will publish more details of its modelling later in the day.
