In sub-Saharan Africa: masking and social estating can save you 73085 COVID-19 deaths by December 1

PREVISIONES that seem to indicate that almost universal adherence to masking orders and social estbreeding in the most affected countries can save you up to 73085 deaths in sub-Saharan Africa until 1 December 2020, however, the death toll could be more than double if universal protection rules such as masking and social estating are not met.

According to new projections from the Institute for Health Metrics and Evaluation, IHME, the number of deaths related to COVID-19 in Sub-Saharan Africa may succeed in 180273 until December 1, 2020 if the governments of the region continue to reduce the distance Social. measures without ensuring that masking, social distancing, and other disease prevention mandates are widely practiced.

However, IHME projections at the University of Washington have noted that, while there is universal adherence to masking and other preventive measures, the death toll may be reduced to 85,688 (compared to 15,000 deaths in mid-July) with up to 73,085 COVID-19. -related deaths avoided.

According to the projection, an almost universal adherence to masking and other preventive measures could reach a total of 85,688 deaths until December 1; however, if other people forget about those efforts, the IHME predicts 158,773 deaths.

The IHME analysis, which highlights the possible effect of effective prevention measures, indicates that if the correct use of mask increases to 95% and social estating mandates are re-imposed when daily deaths exceed 8%, consisting of millions, the number of deaths from 1 December in South Africa could be reduced from 41402 (range 25,263 to 62,575) to 31,529 (19,936 to 46,944).

In its projection for Nigeria, the IHME notes that if social distance mandates continue to relax and mandates are re-imposed for six weeks, as of December 1, deaths can be only 1724 (range 1046 to 3543.

In some other scenario, if court orders are re-imposed for six weeks and the use of masks increases to 95% from now on, the projected mortality rate can be only 1,107 (range 979 to 1,424).

The death toll is expected to occur in South Africa, Zambia, Kenya, Malawi and Zimbabwe.

IHME is an independent global fitness studies organization at the University of Washington School of Medicine that provides a rigorous and comparable measure of the world’s highest physical fitness disorders and evaluates the methods used to address them.

According to IHME Director Dr Christopher Murray: “It is encouraging that in many countries in sub-Saharan Africa, the first mandates to practice social estculation and restrict displacement have mitigated COVID-19.

“These new projections recommend that such mandates will have to continue to play a critical role and that citizens of all countries wear masks regularly. As we have noted in the United States, the value of untimely easing of those mitigation efforts may simply be a piling up in new instances and deaths.

“Given the limitations of our existing forecasts for sub-Saharan Africa, it is up to fitness officials and policy makers to plan for the superior diversity of COVID-19 estimates, while emphasizing the strategies shown to mitigate infections, such as masking and social estating. Murray said.

The IHME model of the COVID-19 pandemic is based on reports from African ministries of aptitude and knowledge that characterize the spread of COVID-19 in countries around the world. The projections were developed in consultation with the African CDC, a branch of the African Union.

According to Dr. John Nkengasong, DIRECTOR of the CDC for Africa: “This knowledge provides an additional set of projections that governments can make in their decision-making procedure on the most productive way to protect lives.

“Several thousand deaths can be prevented by inspiring the correct, widespread and constant use of the mask, social estating and careful movement of people. At CDC Africa, we work intensively and collaboratively with heads of state, fitness ministers, and others to provide recommendations on how to deal with this epidemic, while minimizing economic and social consequences. “

The IHME has been publishing COVID-19 forecasts since March 2020 and is one of the world’s leading modelers for the pandemic. Today’s projections for sub-Saharan Africa are in lacheck’s IHME models and come with knowledge of the fitness system, such as hospitalizations, extensive care admissions and ventilation needs, as well as infections, deaths and antibody prevalence. Other points come with estimates of capita control, mobility, social distance mandates, mask use, social contact rates and pneumonia seasonality.
