Abstract
[Extract] As the first wave of SARS-CoV-2 infections spread across the globe there was a noticeable paucity of cases reported from countries in sub-Saharan Africa (SSA). Many theories were proposed to explain the epidemiology of COVID-19 in this region. One relates to population demographics; there is a clear positive correlation between age and risk of infection (1) suggesting the younger age distribution in many countries in SSA could account for fewer cases. Likewise, infection is generally less severe in younger people (2) and the mild symptoms may influence care-seeking behaviours.
