Abstract The specter of the coronavirus (COVID-19) continues to loom large over global public health, posing a significant threat to human health and life worldwide. Tracking the virus’s prevalence remains a constant challenge, and effective forecasting models are crucial to regulate its spread. The first case emerged in Wuhan, China, in December 2019, igniting a global pandemic. As of today, over 15 million confirmed cases, 600,000 deaths, and 9 million recoveries have been reported [1].The majority of cases in Africa were imported through European nations [2].While the situation in China has improved, other regions like the United States and Europe witnessed significant deterioration. Africa, once relatively unscathed, now grapples with its own surge, exceeding 750,000 confirmed cases, 15,000 fatalities, and 450,000 recoveries [3]. Countries like Algeria, Egypt, and South Africa are particularly affected, while East African nations like Ethiopia, Somalia, Djibouti, Kenya, and Sudan experience alarming exponential growth. This rapid spread can be attributed to various factors, including poor socioeconomic conditions, limited medical resources, underlying health issues, and inadequate testing infrastructure. |
