Covid-19 is surging in Africa with a record of 6,009,854 cases that have been officially counted in 54 nations and territories since the virus was first discovered in December 2019 in China.
The cases are growing at a pace of more than 41,400 per day – a 13 percent increase over last week and a rate not yet seen on the continent. The confirmed cases only reflect a fraction of the actual number of infections as lack of testing capacity means that statistics are underestimated.
Libya has seen the fastest growth with 1,560 new daily cases, a jump of 260 percent. Mozambique is second with an average of 1,380 new cases, a 77% increase, and Morocco with 1,190 new cases, a 70 percent jump.
The country reached its peak between July 2 and 8 when a daily average of 19,956 cases was reported. With the Delta variant highly present in the country, the World Health Organization said that “the health situation is serious and all indicators are red”.
