South Africa is the hardest-hit country in sub-Saharan Africa, accounting for around a third of total cumulative numbers in the region.
WHO regional chief Matshidiso Moeti has warned of a"certain underestimation of cases" due to test kit shortages and the tendency to test only symptomatic patients Prosper Zo'o Minto'o of the International Civil Aviation Organization described the virus' impact on the African airline industry as"alarming".
Aircrafts flew 60 million less passengers on international routes over the past three months, and 30 million less for domestic travel. Zo'o Minto'o estimated that airlines would require at least $20 billion in stimulus aid for them to take back to the skies.
