Almost two years after Africa identified its first case of COVID-19, World Health Organisation (WHO) has said if current trends continue, the continent could control the pandemic in 2022, even as it warned that continued vigilance remains crucial.

WHO observed that though Africa lags behind on vaccination, with only 11 per cent of its adult population fully vaccinated, the continent now has a steady supply of doses flowing in.

Moeti noted that each subsequent wave has triggered a response that has been more effective than the previous, with each surge shorter by 23 per cent on average from the one before. While the first wave lasted about 29 weeks, the fourth wave was over in six weeks, or about a fifth of the time. Moeti noted that the continent’s capacity to manage COVID-19 cases has gradually improved with increased availability of trained health workers, oxygen and other medical supplies.
