, Use specific examples and statistics to illustrate the impacts of COVID-19 on
mortality and economic development within the African continent. Provide
recommendations on how the impacts you have identified should be addressed.
According to Covid19 Surveillance Update: 3 April 2020 9:00a.m of Africa CDC, the
spread of the virus has reached 50 African Union Member States were 7,028 cases, 561
recoveries and 284 deaths; and was showing no signs of slowing down. Africa, because
of its openness to international trade and migration, is not immune to the harmful effects
of COVID-19, which are of two kinds which are endogenous and exogenous. The Covid-
19 crisis is affecting the entire world economy and that of Africa. Some key sectors of the
African economy are already experiencing a slowdown as a result of the pandemic.
Tourism, air transport, and the oil sector are visibly impacted. However, invisible impacts
of Covid-19 are expected in 2022 regardless of the duration of the pandemic.
This section discusses the impact of Covid-19 on African economic growth and other
specific sectors. The first impact is Loss of Activity and Jobs in the African Tourism
and Travel Industry . Tourism, an important sector of economic activity for many
countries in Africa, will be heavily affected by COVID-19 with the generalization of travel
restrictions, closing of borders and social distancing. IATA esti mates the economic
contribution of the air transport industry in Africa at US$ 55.8 billion dollars, supporting
6.2 million jobs and contributing 2.6% of GDP. These restrictions affect international
airlines including Af rican giants Ethiopian Airlines, Egyptair, Kenya Airways, South
African Airways, etc. The first effects will result in the partial unemployment of airlines
staff and equipment. However, in normal times, airlines transport around 35% of world
trade, and each job in air transport supports 24 others in the travel and tourism value
chain, which creates around 70 million jobs (IATA, 2020).
A communique from IATA indicated that “international bookings in Africa declined about
20% in March and April, domestic bookings declined about 15% in March and 25% in
April. According to the latest data, that Ticket refunds increased by 75% in 2020 compared
