In last 24 hours, health services of countries south of the Sahara reported to CDPC 30,642 infections for a total of 6,330 thousand 48 infected since the detection of the first case in this region of the world.

Deaths, likewise, showed a trend to increase with 866 deaths on Wednesday; total of deaths amounted to 160 thousand 534.

Most disturbing aspect of the course of the pandemic in sub-Saharan Africa lies in the absence of an organized plan with even a mediate perspective allowing to expect a recession of the deadly disease in the area.

On the contrary, prevailing conditions point to the possibility for further spread if urgent containment measures are not taken.
