Abstract
Since its discovery in China COVID-19, has spread quickly over the world particularly among neighboring countries. Northern African region which includes Egypt, Libya, Tunisia, Algeria and Morocco; is one of the largest geographically and socially integrated region. No boarders can be found or easily controlled between these countries. The demographic nature of the region composed of same tribes particularly in Sub-Saharan area. Furthermore, the inhabitants within this region have been displaced and scattered over the boarders and they have to move between these countries for daily needs [1]. Hence then, tracing, and geographic mapping of COVID-19 within this region is an important step to implement proper national and regional strategies to control this killing pandemic. Spatiotemporal epidemiology has been recently found to be successful in controlling spread of infectious diseases such as HIV and HCV within the region [2,3]. Here in we highlight the geographic patterns and spatial distribution of COVID-19 in Northern African countries. Every reported COVID-19 case was followed and the geographic analysis was carried from February 14th, as first case reported till April 1st, 2020.
