Abstract

This study is a monitoring analysis of COVID-19 in Africa. The data used for the study is sourced from the Africa Centre for Disease Control (Africa CDC) as t 10:00 PM on the 24th of April, 2020, which comprises a number of Africa countries with laboratory-confirmed cases, number of death, and number of discharged/recovered cases. The quality pandemic monitoring/control tools used in this study is the fish-bone diagram, Pareto analysis, control chart, bar chart, and pie chart. The fish-bone diagram depicts the likely symptoms to check out for in a patent infected by COVID-19; the Pareto analysis shows that 14 countries to the left of this line (South Africa, Egypt, Morocco, Algeria, Cameroon, Ghana, Ivory Coast, Djibouti, Tunisia, Nigeria, Guinea, Niger, and Burkina Faso) constitute 80% of all the infected countries; the trend analysis shows that the spread of the pandemic is still on an increasing rate; and lastly, from the performance assessment, it is seen that the spread is still under control from the pie chart while the death rate is already out of control.
