Africa-Press – Ethiopia. <\/strong><\/span>s Ababa May 16\/2022 \/ENA\/ The number of COVID-19 infections reported in Africa reached 11,545,490 on Sunday as many countries the continent continue to report reduced new cases.<\/p>\n

The latest figure was published by the Africa Centres for Disease Control and Prevention, which also noted that the continent has registered a total of 252,626 virus-related fatalities.<\/p>\n

Most African countries in the past week continued to report declines in new cases, with some further easing containment measures that have been in place for months.<\/p>\n

The Egyptian government has green-lighted a full reopening of mosques as part of the latest easing of COVID-19 restrictions.<\/p>\n

Rwanda\u2019s government on its part lifted a mask mandate for people in public, according to CGTN.<\/p>\n

A few countries have however expressed concerns over possible resurgence of cases as cold seasons creep in.<\/p>\n

South Africa, the continent\u2019s hardest-hit country, has particularly seen a slight rise in infections, prompting health authorities to amplify their calls for vigilance against the virus.<\/p>\n

According to the World Health Organization, Africa\u2019s past four pandemic waves have occurred around mid and end-year, and mostly driven by new COVID-19 variants, winter seasons and high population movement during these holiday periods.<\/p>\n

In 2021, the Delta-fueled mid-year surge began round May and in late November with the emergence of Omicron.<\/p>\n
