Over the past few days, many African countries have been gaining new crowns, and the number of cases is high. Experts believe that this is closely related to the prevalence of variant COVID-19. According to the data released by the African Center for Disease Control and prevention on the 9th, there were 10028508 confirmed cases, 231157 deaths and 8916469 cures in Africa. Anhelik Kuche, President of the South African Medical Association, said that compared with other previous strains, the Omicron strain has many mutations and is highly infectious, which should be the reason for the rapid increase of new crown cases on the African continent. Although clinical observation shows that the symptoms caused by Omicron virus are relatively mild, its transmission speed is very fast. South Africa, Morocco, Tunisia, Ethiopia and Libya are the five African countries with the largest number of confirmed cases in the new crown. Among them, South Africa has the largest number of confirmed cases, reaching 3513813 cases, followed by Morocco and Tunisia, with 990057 cases and 738442 cases respectively. According to the data released by the African Center for Disease Control and prevention on the 6th, the number of confirmed cases in the new African crown accounts for about 3.3% of the global confirmed cases, but the number of deaths in the new African crown accounts for 4.2% of the global new crown deaths. So far, African countries have received 547 million doses of new crown vaccine, and about 9.6% of the African population has completed two doses of new crown vaccine. (outlook new era)
