The decision fell like lightning on a sunny day after several days in which Africa proved in its reports a stable line of less than 10,000 new cases after several days in which there were around 20,000 patients, a figure that triggered alarms by one possible pandemic explosion in this continent.
Thus, this Wednesday´s report, released today, recognized 1.750.466 new infections, about 9.000 more than Tuesday´s, as 1.660.129 patients were reported.
Regarding death toll, it was reported 24,269, which is equivalent to 354 more than on Tuesday´s, a stable figure compatible with the progress of past weeks.
The decision to carry out a Covid-19 antibody study across the continent was passed after finding some evidence that «there are many more people infected than the official figures indicate,» according to CPE´s official statement.
