The global economy has faced an unprecedented threat from the COVID-19 outbreak. The current illness is ravaging Africa at an exponential rate, and all of the continent's nations are experiencing the effects of the epidemic. In this study, we used the COVID-19 outbreak as a case study to examine the prediction of the economic impact of the pandemic in Sub-Saharan Africa (SSA).
