摘要：The on-going COVID-19 pandemic is characterized by a significantly large proportion of population experiencing symp- tomless infections. Undesirably, the nature of symptomless infections does not motivate an active search for healthcare services by these subjects despite remaining potentially infectious to the general population. Indeed, transmission of COVID- 19 aetological virus, SARS Cov-2, by asymptomatic cases contributes to the transmission for the disease globally [1] . For this reason, the push to curb the spread of COVID-19 has gained unprecedented momentum in Africa with government-led interventions majorly linked to social distancing via restriction of movement. Indications are that these restrictions might remain in place for months before a vaccine and/or a cure are introduced.
