were 8165 deaths and 80539 confirmed cases of COVID-19. Demographic situations, like age profiles is reported
to be the cause of high case fatality rate (CFR) in Italy. In Africa, the COVID-19 pandemic has not yet grasped epic
proportion, but the estimation of CFR is still needed. We compared the CFR observed in Italy with the age profiles
in 46 Africa countries and 2 territories which are already confirmed COVID-19 case. The estimation of the CFR
in Africa ranges between (1.0%-5.4%) while in Italy is 10.1%. The five highest CFR countries and territories in
Africa are Reunion (5.4%), Mauritius (5.1%), Tunisia (3.9%), Seychelles (3.8%) and Morocco (3.3%). The last three
