Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) dissemination occurred from December 2019 and quickly spread to all countries. Infected patients with COVID-19 have had a wide range of symptoms, ranging from mild to severe illness. The most mortality was observed in patients with underlying disease and over 45 years. World statistics have shown that the COVID-19 outbreak is most expanded in Middle Eastern, West Asian, European, North, and South American countries, and is least expanded in African countries. Therefore, the aim of the paper was the evaluation of six African countries including Mali, Mauritania, Niger, Guinea, Togo, and Djibouti to find why this disease is least expanded in African countries. Study was conducted by Questioner for countries health organizers to define their different aspect exposure and fight with COVID-19 including epidemiology, clinical aspects of the disease, case definitions, diagnosis laboratory confirmation, and referral of cases by the portal of entry, case management, and disease prevention in these countries. According to this opinion review, due to the low international flights and low domestic travel, the spread, and prevalence of COVID-19 was low and the return of the immigrants of these countries has caused the spread of COVID-19 among these countries. Experience, preparation, and impact of previous infections epidemic such as the Ebola virus epidemic would have beneficial, which have promoted certain reflexes among people that cause low dissemination in these countries.
2019年冠状病毒病(COVID-19)于2019年12月开始传播,并迅速蔓延至所有国家。COVID-19感染患者有广泛的症状,从轻症到重症。观察到有基础疾病的患者和45岁以上患者的死亡率最高。世界统计数据显示,COVID-19疫情在中东、西亚、欧洲、北美和南美国家传播最为广泛,在非洲国家传播最少。因此,本文的目的是评估包括马里、毛里塔尼亚、尼日尔、几内亚、多哥和吉布提在内的六个非洲国家,以找出该疾病在非洲国家传播最少的原因。通过向各国卫生组织者提问进行研究,以确定他们在应对COVID-19方面的不同暴露情况和应对措施,包括流行病学、疾病的临床方面、病例定义、诊断实验室确认、通过入境口岸转诊病例、病例管理以及这些国家的疾病预防。根据这一观点综述,由于国际航班和国内旅行较少,COVID-19的传播和流行程度较低,而这些国家移民的回流导致了COVID-19在这些国家的传播。诸如埃博拉病毒疫情等以往感染性流行病的经验、准备工作和影响可能会产生有益作用,这些经验促使人们产生了某些反应,从而导致该疾病在这些国家传播较少。
