ABSTRACT

Since the discovery of Coronavirus (COVID-19) in December 2019, the World has been facing a new strain of virus that has not been previously identified in humans and has rapidly been affecting people around the World. Initially less affected, the African continent reported more than 4,360,383 cases in general with more than 20,636 confirmed cases in Gabon. This research will present the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic in Africa in general with a particular view of the case of Gabon. This perspective aims to update data and provide information on the pandemic situation for the small central African country. This research will first explore the economic impact of the global pandemic on a developing country like Gabon, Gabon’s strategies in combatting the virus and the opportunities presented by COVID-19. Documentary and qualitative research methods were used to analyse this topic.
