The COVID-19 pandemic was confirmed to have reached Western Sahara in April 2020. The released data from the Moroccan government excludes cases in territory controlled by the Sahrawi Arab Democratic Republic.
On 12 January 2020, the World Health Organization (WHO) confirmed that a novel coronavirus was the cause of a respiratory illness in a cluster of people in Wuhan City, Hubei Province, China, which was reported to the WHO on 31 December 2019.[2][3]
The case fatality ratio for COVID-19 has been much lower than SARS of 2003,[4][5] but the transmission has been significantly greater, with a significant total death toll.[6][4]
