Abstract
Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) has infected over nineteen million people globally with over 700 000 fatalities as of 9 August 2020. To date, Africa has recorded the least amount of COVID-19 confirmed cases. As of 9 August 2020, Africa has 1, 037, 135 cases compared to 10, 615, 855 in Americas and 3, 061, 264 in Europe. In this piece, the authors unpack the low numbers of laboratory confirmed COVID-19 cases in Africa - is it a case of limited testing capacity due to poor health systems or otherwise?
摘要
截至2020年8月9日，2019冠状病毒病（COVID-19）已在全球感染了超过1900万人，死亡人数超过70万。迄今为止，非洲记录的COVID-19确诊病例数量最少。截至2020年8月9日，非洲有1037135例病例，而美洲有10615855例，欧洲有3061264例。在本文中，作者剖析了非洲实验室确诊的COVID-19病例数量较少的原因——是由于卫生系统薄弱导致检测能力有限，还是其他原因呢？
