Less than two months after Egypt became the first country in Africa to confirm a coronavirus case, the outbreak appears to have reached almost every nation on the continent. Of Africa's 54 countries, only five have yet to report a case of the virus, which has killed more than 42,000 people worldwide while infecting at least 860,000 people. "Africa should wake up, my continent should wake up," the Ethiopian, WHO's first African head, said.

Below is an infogram tracking the latest coronavirus cases on the continent.
