Thank you, Dr. Hassan Izzeddin Sarsak
for your contribution. I also strongly believe that "Weak travel connections, effective border screening and travel restrictions, local climate effects, a lack of screening or a lack of reporting are all potential reasons and explanations of low reported COVID-19 cases in Africa."
Thank you so much dear Dr. Md Rabiul Alam for your fruitful comments.
I thing that it related to the immune system> the Immune system in the most of african countries are very strong. The second reason is the high degree in it. This atmosphere helps to not spread of virus.
Best regards
Depends on many parameters, but carriers could be low there...
Thank you so much dear colleague Dr. Nasser Said Gomaa Abdelrasheed , Dr. Dr.Chandrakant Naikodi and Dr. Consolata Kirigia for your thoughtful comments.

Less tourism and minimum contact with China. Inadequate testing as well as under reporting are major issues.
It's not for immunity sure. While I was in Africa I saw their high prevalence of HIV and TB. So they should have more risk in that context. Just isolated due to war in many countries and tourists are less interested.
Thank you so much, Dr. Muhammed Ashraful Alam and Sura Aldewachi for your nice discussion and information.
It´s good those countries apparently have low number of COVID-19 cases. The reason bellow this could be various. For example, not doing tests and not reporting cases
