Description
Summary:Abstract While the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic differed per country, the impact on African nations was comparable. Health, money, the economy, education, and inventions have all been criticised over the years, but the discoveries during the pandemic were stunning. We witnessed a system being devoured by corruption and anti-patriotic citizens seeking their agenda. The commentary discusses the influence of the COVID-19 pandemic on several sectors in African nations, as well as the lessons that may be drawn from it. Furthermore, it recommends methods to avoid a recurrence.
