The second wave of the coronavirus is spreading swiftly in Africa, a continent once perceived as one of the relatively safest places when speaking of the deadly virus.
Africa passed the milestone of 3 million confirmed cases COVID-19 on Sunday, according to the Africa Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
More than 72, 000 people have also died of coronavirus infections in Africa since Egypt became the first country in the continent to confirm a coronavirus case about 11 months ago, data from the Africa CDC revealed Sunday.
