The report also stressed that the number of tests performed per positive case has remained low, at around 6 tests per case, indicating cases are "likely going undetected."
Meanwhile, the report also noted that tests per case has remained stable or decreasing over the past month-indicating the decrease in new cases may be due to actual epidemiologic trends, not simply poor testing.
"Low tests per case ratios, which indicates poor testing capacity, signals that many cases are likely not being detected, such as Algeria, the Democratic Republic Congo (DRC), Egypt, Madagascar, Somalia, South Sudan and Sudan," the report read, adding that reported decreases in new cases "should be interpreted with caution in many countries."
The report also noted that traditional media and social media users have continued to criticize governments for implementing public health and social measures through force in some countries, and others report of police brutality.
