The COVID-19 pandemic in Zambia was a part of the ongoing worldwide pandemic of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19 ) caused by severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2 ). The virus was confirmed to have reached Zambia in March 2020.[ 3]
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.[ 4] [ 5]
The case fatality ratio for COVID-19 has been much lower than SARS of 2003 ,[ 6] [ 7] but the transmission has been significantly greater, with a significant total death toll.[ 8] [ 6] Model-based simulations for Zambia suggest that the 95% confidence interval for the time-varying reproduction number R t exceeded 1.0 in November and December 2020.[ 9]
