Africa is the only region in the world experiencing a greater outbreak of the epidemic

The outbreak of the “Covid-19” epidemic has declined for the sixth consecutive week in the world, with the exception of Africa, where infections with the Corona virus have risen sharply.

The following are the most prominent weekly developments in the brown continent, according to the database of "Agence France Presse".

The number of confirmed injuries reflects only a small part of the number of real injuries, and comparisons between countries should be viewed with caution, as examination policies differ from one country to another.

With 390,800 thousand daily injuries recorded in the world this week, the index recorded a new decline (-16% compared to last week), according to a toll prepared by Agence France-Presse until Thursday.

The epidemic slowed significantly in Asia (-26%), Europe (-18%), Oceania (-15%), the United States/Canada (-14%), the Middle East (-9%), and Latin America/ Caribbean (-8%).

However, it made significant progress in Africa (+28%), the only region where the outbreak increased this week.

Three-quarters of the new infections were recorded in five countries: Egypt, South Africa, Tunisia, Uganda and Zambia.
