Bloomberg Business published on 23 February 2020 an article titled "Even without a Case, Africa May Be a Big Victim of Coronavirus" by Alonso Soto.
Sub-Saharan Africa may be the region hardest hit outside Asia by the spread of the coronavirus.

Nigeria, Angola, DRC and Zambia are most at risk because of falling commodity prices. Still, Africa could bounce back quickly once the coronavirus outbreak is brought under control.
