The World Health Organisation (WHO) declared Covid-19 a pandemic on March 11, 2020. All the continents except Antarctica have so far reported thousands of coronavirus cases and/or deaths. Globally, more than a million cases have been reported with 24 per cent of deaths affecting a broad range of ages. Africa has been lucky to have a delayed onset of the spread of Covid-19.
