It hit the shores there in Egypt, Djibouti, and South Africa all about the same time and it is a minor nuisance there.
South Africa, which has 1,655 confirmed cases of coronavirus, including 11 deaths, is now in the second week of one of the world's strictest lockdowns.
It has seen mobile testing units as well as drive-through testing centres being rolled out. Soon the country will be able to test 30,000 people every day.
Nothing but essential movement is permitted, and there is even a ban on buying alcohol and cigarettes.
Correspondents say South Africa's response to the pandemic has been ruthlessly efficient.
In Egypt the government has enforced a night-time curfew, banned large public gatherings, disinfected streets and public places, shuttered houses of worship and schools and attempted to reduce daily crowding on the Cairo metro.
A minor nuisance - really?
