Abstract
The coronavirus pandemic continues to take its toll on the African continent. While the continent as a whole still accounts for relatively few deaths from the disease, the numbers are rising, with more than 4,700 confirmed cases and 127 deaths. As countries scramble to contain the virus and are affected by the efforts of other countries to do the same the economic impacts grow. Even before the outbreak, the outlook for the world economy and especially developing countries like Nigeria was fragile, as global GDP growth was estimated to be only 2.5 percent in 2020. While many developing countries have recorded relatively fewer cases, Nigeria currently has 238 confirmed cases and 5 deaths as of this writing, the weak capacity of health care systems in these countries is likely to exacerbate the pandemic and its impact on their financial economies.Abstract
