    Snippet: Sub Saharan Africa's large young population is expected to lead to relatively lower mortality rates given the observed larger mortality rates among older population [11] . In addition, the overall low population density in rural areas should allow natural distancing, thus mitigating the impact of the SARS-CoV-2 pandemic [7, 14] . On the other hand, weak health systems, poor access to sanitation, overcrowded cities and slums make social distancing.....
    Document: Sub Saharan Africa's large young population is expected to lead to relatively lower mortality rates given the observed larger mortality rates among older population [11] . In addition, the overall low population density in rural areas should allow natural distancing, thus mitigating the impact of the SARS-CoV-2 pandemic [7, 14] . On the other hand, weak health systems, poor access to sanitation, overcrowded cities and slums make social distancing a challenge and negatively impact the spread of the virus. Population face mask utility can support the social distancing needed to decrease transmissibility of SARS-CoV-2 [15] especially in urban centers where people may find it hard to keep distances. We have modeled our estimate based on three basic reproduction number R 0 values, three cluster sizes and three initial cases. SSA countries .
