In Africa, the number of corona infections that has continued is higher than previously believed. More than two-thirds of the population may already have some degree of immunity. The fact that not all cases are counted is partly due to a lack of testing and recording options.
In Africa, the number of unreported corona infections is higher than previously believed. “New WHO analyzes show that more than two-thirds of the population may have already acquired some degree of immunity after contact with the coronavirus,” said the World Health Organization (WHO). WHO) said regional director for Africa Matshidiso Moeti on Thursday. The official numbers would only surface, the real ones could be 97 times higher.
Very young population
So far, about 11.5 million infections have been recorded in 1.3 billion people in Africa, of which 250,000 are fatal. The high number of unreported cases is partly due to a lack of testing and recording facilities, but also to the fact that the population is very young on average. Young people in particular often have no or hardly any complaints and are then not registered.
