Three more African countries has recorded confirmed cases of COVID 19.

These include Burundi where authorities admitted last week there were no cases recorded simply because they had not been testing.

Scientists assume that the five African countries that have not acknowledged cases of COVID 19 are doing this because, like Burundi, they have not been testing for it.

Somaliland and Sierra Leone have registered their first cases.

This morning there have been 6 383 cases of COVID 19 confirmed in Africa. 5 642 of these are still active.

505 of these patients are described  as recovered and 236 have died.

South Africa has the highest figures of the continent with five deaths from the 1325 active cases.
