Sources: https://learningenglish.voanews.com/a/in-africa-lack-of-coronavirus-records-raises-fear-of-silent-epidemic-/5496147.html Summary: When the novel coronavirus hit Tanzania in April, President John Magufuli called for three days of prayer to ask for God’s protection. A month later, he declared victory over the virus and invited travelers to return to his nation. His decision to reopen concerned the World Health Organization (WHO) because there was almost no information on the spread of the virus in Tanzania. The country is home to 55 million people and has one of the weakest health care systems in East Africa. In many African nations there is a lack of good, trustworthy information about COVID-19, the disease caused by the virus. Some governments do not want to admit that the epidemic exists. Other nations cannot do testing because they are so affected by poverty and conflict. The Reuters news agency examined the latest information about the disease. It found that Africa, with a population of 1.3 billion people, had over 493,000 confirmed coronavirus cases and 11,600 deaths. To understand these low numbers, Latin America has half the number of people, but 2.9 million cases and 129,900 deaths. The official numbers make it appear that COVID-19 has affected relatively few people in Africa, but the truth may be much worse. WHO special envoy Samba Sow warned on May 25 of a possible “silent epidemic” if testing was not given a high priority. By July 7, 4,200 tests per million people had been carried out across the continent. That information comes from a Reuter’s study of reports from the Africa’s Centre for Disease Control and Prevention. That compares with averages of 7,650 in Asia and 74,255 in Europe.
