Spread of the corona virus in Togo
Currently: 0.2 new infections per day per 100,000 inhabitantsThe inhabitants of Togo are still affected by the corona pandemic and the spread of the Sars-Covid-19 virus. The inhabitants of Togo are also affected by the corona pandemic and the spread of the Sars-Covid-19 virus. By December 2nd, 2020, 2997 infected persons and 64 deaths have been reported in the country. The first confirmed infections were reported on March 7th, 2020, which is the date of the official notification. An additional 10-14 days are calculated for noticing one's own infection, the doctor's appointment, the laboratory test and, above all, the period from the infection until the first symptoms appear. The country reached its peak so far on October 30th with 58 new infected persons.
The first graph shows the number of infected persons reported. The second graph shows the number of deaths.
Mortality rate of infected persons
From the previously infected and deceased people, in Togo results in a mortality rate of 2.1%. However, it should be borne in mind that death occurs an average of 19 days after the first symptoms appear. The time of the actual infection is therefore followed by several days until a person affected has a medical test carried out and the results are available. In order to quantify mortality more precisely, one would therefore have to compare the deaths that have occurred to date with those reported 2,693 infected up to 14 days ago. This gives in Togo a new mortality rate of 2.4%.Due to the current corona pandemic, we update the worldwide case numbers daily. A list of all infected and dead people by country can be found on our Corona virus topic page.

Medical supplies
Medical care provided by doctors and hospitals in Togo is below average compared to the world population. The country provides 0.7 hospital beds per 1000 inhabitants. The global mean here is 2.7 beds. Within the EU, 5.6 beds are available for every 1,000 residents.With about 394 physicians in Togo, there are about 0.05 doctors per 1000 inhabitants. Here again the comparison: worldwide this standard is 1.50 physicians per 1000 inhabitants and in the EU even 3.57.
Through medical care, the mortality rate of major known diseases can be reduced as far as possible. For example, only about 24 percent of all people who suffer from cancer, diabetes, cardiovascular diseases or chylomicron retention disease (CRD) currently die.
