With the number of cases being reported daily in Africa.. With different updates around Africa... Many are scared of what will happen, and questions are asked daily.. "when will the coronavirus pandemic be over? ".

IN NIGERIA:

In a move to combat the spread of the pandemic disease, President Muhammadu Buhari directed the cessation of all movements in Lagos and the FCT for an initial period of 14 days, which took effect from 11 pm on Monday, 30th March 2020.

The movement restriction, which was extended by another two-weeks period, has been partially put on hold with some businesses commencing operations from May 4.

Nigeria is still fighting to defeat the pandemic in Nigeria...

IN MADAGASCAR:

As of today 11th May 2020{Monday}.. Madagascar has not recorded any deaths since the coronavirus pandemic. Is that not amazing..

Madagascar has also made efforts in providing a cure for the coronavirus.. The World Health Organization (WHO) on Thursday called for clinical trials of Madagascar's Covid Organics, a herbal drink that is said to prevent and cure patients suffering from the novel coronavirus or COVID-19... 

South Africa has decided to assist Madagascar to test the cure..

IN SOUTH AFRICA:

The total number of confirmed  or COVID19 cases in South Africa is 9420. Regrettably, they reported 8 more COVID19 related deaths. They wish to express their condolences to the loved ones of the deceased. They  also acknowledge the commitment and hard work of the  health professionals and frontline workers.

In addition to that 

A ban on large funerals in South Africa has forced people to give up many traditions, but they have also rediscovered old ones, including "secret burials". 

All it took was one funeral and 40 people were infected with coronavirus.

On 21 March, less than a week after President Cyril Ramaphosa had declared a national state of disaster and banned large gatherings to help contain the spread of coronavirus, around 100 people attended a funeral ceremony in Majola village, Eastern Cape.

The village, in the  rural community of AmaMpondomise, is now the epicentre of the virus in the area. The 21 March funeral, along with two others in the city of Port Elizabeth, account for 200 Covid-19 cases in the province - about a quarter of the total.
