From a mild cough to a severe respirato-
ry illness, COVID-19 can be suspected.
Many patients are asymptomatic in the
early phases of the disease so there may
be some silent transmission going on
though the most common route is via
respiratory droplets coughed or exhaled
by an infected person.
2-14 days is the time from infection to
appearance of the symptoms listed
below.

From regular handwashing to non-pharmaceuti-
cal interventions (NPIs) such as social distancing
and school closure, COVID-19 is certainly one of
if not the most havocking pandemic to have-
drained the health,
economic
and political sectors
this much.
Preventive
measures are
centered on
good hand
and respira-
tory hygiene
all the way
to NPIs
imposed
by government
like social distanc-
ing, voluntary home
quarantine, case isolation at
homes and closure of schools
and universities.

Indeed there is a huge difference in
the number of cases registered
elsewhere and the number regis-
tered in Africa due to the fact that
the epicentre of the pandemic is
not African country but an Asian
country.
