The rampaging effect of coronavirus disease (COVID-19) in Africa is huge and have impacted almost every area of life. Across African states, there exist variations in the laboratory measures adopted, and these heterogeneous approaches, in turn, determines the successes or otherwise recorded. In this study, we assessed the various forms of laboratory responses to the containment, risk analyses, structures and features of COVID-19 in high incidence African countries (Nigeria, South Africa, Egypt, Ghana, Algeria, Morocco, etc.) to aid better and efficient laboratory responses to the highly infectious diseases.
冠状病毒病（COVID-19）在非洲的肆虐影响巨大，几乎波及生活的方方面面。在非洲各国，所采用的实验室检测措施存在差异，而这些不同的方法反过来又决定了所取得的成效。在本研究中，我们评估了非洲高发病率国家（尼日利亚、南非、埃及、加纳、阿尔及利亚、摩洛哥等）针对COVID-19的遏制、风险分析、结构和特征所采取的各种实验室应对方式，以助力对这种高传染性疾病做出更好、更有效的实验室应对。
