Abstract
Purpose of review: To place forth a true understanding of the epidemiological characteristics of the novel coronavirus
(COVID-19) in Sudan as well as propose a possible intervention that might decrease, if not completely deplete, the
mortality rate. Recent findings: As of the 28th of September 2020, as per the JHU’s online world map covering the
COVID-19 pandemic, the total number of confirmed cases worldwide was 33,469,217 with 1,003,791 deaths with the
United States of America being the worst infected nation followed by Brazil and India (based on the total number of
deaths); in the Republic of the Sudan, the Federal Ministry of Health (FMOH) reported by the 28th of September 2020,
a total of 13,640 cases, 836 (~6.1%) of these patients had died, 6764 (~49.6%) had recovered and the remaining 6040
(~44.3%) were classified as “active”. The republic has recently ‘lifted’ the previously imposed lockdown.
