West Africa recorded 48,500 cases, East Africa 25,100, and Central Africa 22,600.

In terms of death tolls, North Africa suffered 2,500 fatalities, Southern Africa 1,400, West Africa 914, East Africa 763, and Central Africa 466.

At least 36,700 patients have recovered in Southern Africa, 27,400 in North Africa, 21,900 in West Africa, 8,800 in East Africa, and 8,100 in Central Africa.
