Data were dated back to January 2021 and in the latest version of the WP article are updated to May 21, 2021. In May 2020 there were declared 40,000 cases, nearly 1,700 deaths, and more than 13,000 recoveries recorded on 53 countries. This free OUP article reports data declared on June 18, 2020 (52 African Union Member States reporting 267,519 cases, 7197 deaths, and 122,661 recoveries), and may be of interest because it highlights an exponential law of growth since the first month of the data series.

The other reason is that the number of countries involved in the report is variable from a month to another. In May 21, 2021, they become 55. And that would be believed to be reasonably a more true and complete version. Theologian81sp ( talk) 09:30, 28 May 2021 (UTC) reply
