Background and Objective:The COVID-19 have affected millions and killed more than 5 million people globally.Recently, a various variant of the virus has been identified which has complicated the success achieved in containing it.Several approaches have also been taken to understand and manage the virus, while vaccines development has been of great value.Because of a complete lack of knowledge of the virus, shortage in vaccine supply etc., understanding how the virus spreads per country may determine relativity in infectivity and vaccine emergency.This study aimed to analyse and understand the progress, trend and consequences of the COVID-19 pandemic over seven days and across different countries of the world: 7th to 13th of December, 2021.Materials and Methods: Data from one hundred and forty-two countries were studied based on continents, countries and cases of infection.Data were obtained from the United Nations geo scheme and WHO.They were analyzed and compared to values obtained from United State of America (USA).Results: Data analyzed showed that the USA has made progress in containing the virus compared to previous months and years.Most African countries are relatively unaffected while Americans and Europeans appear to be most affected.Conclusion: The result from the study shows that the African system may have developed various mechanisms to cope and survive the virus pandemic compared to other regions of the world.Hence, vaccination may be Africaʼs least problem.
