Abstract

This is a short review paper examining the use of the Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) and Personal Protective Processes (PPP) during this Covid 19 pandemic and looking at the differences and similarities between developing and developed countries in relationship to very high Covid 19 levels in most developed countries visa vee relatively low levels in most African countries. The review also raises several questions leading to need for further study, examination, discussion and review and these include: why there is low Covid 19 cases and incidences in African countries, the role of environmental factors on the life of the Corona Virus causing COVID 19 and the impact of both PPE and PPP on the levels of transmission and capacity to control COVID 19 in both developed and developing countries.
