The virus has spread more slowly in Africa than in Asia or Europe but has a foothold in 41 African nations and two territories. So far it has claimed 37 lives across the continent of 1.3 billion people. Only patients showing symptoms will be tested, the regional Africa Centres for Disease Control and Prevention said on Sunday.
The supplies will be distributed across Africa, with countries particularly"vulnerable to the COVID-19 pandemic" to receive theirs first, the statement said, adding that more supplies will be sent to Ethiopia in the coming weeks.
