- COVID-19 began in December 2019 in China and was declared a pandemic by March 2020, with Togo reporting its first case on March 5, 2020.
- A survey conducted from April 23 to May 8, 2020, aimed to estimate the prevalence of SARS-CoV-2 among high-risk groups in Lomé, using oropharyngeal swabs and blood samples for testing.
- Results showed a low overall prevalence of 1.6% among 955 participants, with government measures likely contributing to the low rates of infection, leading to a recommendation for targeted screening in these high-risk populations.
