In the letter, the authors state that they obtained 2417 COVID-19 cases reported by 40 countries in sub-Saharan Africa within the 30 days of the first case confirmed in Nigeria on 27 February. The authors also point out that the model did not consider the risk of importing COVID-19 cases from other countries. At the time, virtually no instances of community transmission were being reported outside of China and thus there was no data available to reliably calculate the risk of case importation from other countries (please see WHO's situation Report-18 on Novel Coronavirus (2019-nCoV): https://www.who.int/docs/default-source/coronaviruse/situation-reports/20200207sitrep-18-ncov.pdf?sfvrsn=fa644293_2).
