Yale University School of Medicine (05/01/2020)
  • Using advanced statistical research to make sure their study accounted for the socioeconomic status of African countries, the Yale University School of Medicine researched the projected impact of COVID-19 in Africa.
  • They projected a 135% increase from April to May and a 39% increase from May to June.
  • Due to the low socioeconomic status of African countries, prevention efforts to hinder the spread of COVID-19 may not be implemented in the same way that they have in other regions.
