NEW #COVID19 study: Following first case of COVID-19 confirmed in Africa, new modelling study estimates preparedness and vulnerability of African countries against importing cases. hubs.ly/H0n41m50
Egypt, Algeria, South Africa estimated to be at highest risk in Africa, but have most prepared health systems and are least vulnerable. Nigeria, Ethiopia, Sudan, Angola, Tanzania, Ghana, and Kenya are at lower risk of importing cases, but are less prepared and more vulnerable.
Authors call for increased resources, surveillance, and capacity building in less prepared countries to help detect cases and limit transmission. They note that some African countries have recently strengthened their preparedness, but others remain ill-equipped.
