Abstract
The coronavirus, COVID-19 outbreak has now affected over 60% of
African countries in less than two months [1], gaining a foothold through
major economic and transport hubs on the African continent including
Egypt, Algeria, Nigeria, South Africa and Kenya. Travel restrictions
imposed against citizens from countries with major outbreaks including
China, USA and those in Europe were too late [2,3]. African Union
member states as of early April 2020 are reporting 6,470 cases and 241
deaths from COVID-19 reporting growth as “close to exponential”.
