Abstract
In The Lancet, Stephanie Salyer and colleagues' comprehensive and elegant cross-sectional analysis of COVID-19 case counts, response measures, and mortality rates highlights the diversity of the COVID-19 burden and response across Africa.1 Between Feb 14 and Dec 31, 2020, 2 763 421 COVID-19 cases and 65 602 deaths were reported in African countries, accounting for 3·4% of the 82 312 150 cases and 3·6% of the 1 798 994 deaths reported globally. Their Article shows the variable effects of COVID-19 across Africa, which more severely affected the Northern and Southern regions during both waves of the pandemic.
