I've created WikiProject COVID-19 as a temporary or permanent WikiProject and invite editors to use this space for discussing ways to improve coverage of the ongoing 2019–20 coronavirus pandemic.

The map shows several countries in grey, which within the article are confirmed to have cases. WisDom-UK ( talk) 15:20, 17 March 2020 (UTC)
There have been confirmed cases in Madagascar later. [1] There has been confirmed cases in Zimbabwe as well. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 173.31.201.88 ( talk) 16:25, 21 March 2020 (UTC)

Wasn’t the first case in the Canary Islands? Shouldn’t Madeira be added on the list? Ten Islands ( talk) 12:53, 23 March 2020 (UTC)
Egypt, or the Canary Islands? 1.64.49.65 ( talk) 09:45, 16 April 2020 (UTC)
The legends under the map are totally wrong, there is no country in Africa with more than 10000 confirmed cases. -- Giammarco Ferrari ( talk) 09:06, 22 April 2020 (UTC)
Both Nigeria and Djibouti have past 1,000 cases. Shouldn't their colors be changed on the maps? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2600:1700:82E0:A690:35F3:D108:5338:BC19 ( talk) 21:45, 26 April 2020 (UTC)
Hey! What sources do you use on that Total confirmed cases graph? This graph say that on 28 April there was ~45,000 thousands cases, but Coronavirus in Africa tracker say that on 5 May there is 46,968 cases, worldometers say that there is 48,081 cases and the latest report from WHO (4 May) say that there is "only" 30 536 cases. So how it is possible that on 28 April we have ~45,000? when few days later (5 May) is ~46.000? Natanieluz ( talk) 09:06, 5 May 2020 (UTC)
I've removed the active cases graph, as this is inaccurate and unmaintained. I asked the person who created it to fix a few things at User_talk:Yash400#Active_cases_in_Africa but it hasn't been corrected yet. There are figures missing, and the totals don't match the source. I've also asked an anonymous IP adding data to the total confirmed graph to source this, as there is also missing data, so everything is out, and can't be recreated without confirming a source. Greenman ( talk) 22:47, 21 May 2020 (UTC)
I think that the section First outbreak should have info about the first outbreak in Africa, and not China. This infobox is headlined "COVID-19 pandemic in Africa", not the world.-- Ezzex ( talk) 22:04, 22 November 2020 (UTC)
An editor has started an RfC about whether the announcement by the FBI and the U.S. Department of Energy that they support the COVID-19 lab leak theory should be in the lede of the COVID-19 lab leak theory article. Interested editors are invited to contribute. TarnishedPath talk 23:52, 3 October 2023 (UTC)
