According to the Africa CDC, the countries that have reported case fatality rates higher than the global case fatality rate include Chad with about eight percent, Sudan, Niger and Liberia about six percent each, as well as Egypt, Mali, Burkina Faso and Angola about five percent each.
Three African countries that are Algeria, Sierra Leone and Tanzania have also reported case fatality rates comparable to the global case fatality rate of about 3.8, according to the Africa CDC.
The Africa CDC also warned that a few African countries are reporting the largest share of Africa's confirmed COVID-19 cases.
According to the Africa CDC, six African countries have reported about 80 percent of the new COVID-19 cases since July 28 that are South Africa with 59 percent, Morocco with 5 percent, as well as Algeria, Kenya, Ghana and Ethiopia each reported four percent of the total cases reported last week, respectively.
Amid the rapid spread of the virus across countries in the African continent, South Africa, Djibouti, Sao Tome and Principe, Cabo Verde and Gabon are reporting the most cumulative COVID-19 cases per 100,000 in Africa, it was noted.
Meanwhile, the AU Commission has warned that the impacts of the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic on the African continent could be long-lasting as the spread of the virus, coupled with the eventual economic lockdown imposed across the continent, exacerbate the already fragile socio-economic and healthcare of the continent.
