The outbreak of the epidemic rises on daily basis globally but in Africa, there remains till date low reports of COVID-19 pandemic. Many researchers emerged to discover why there low turnout of COVID-19 victims’ cases in Africa. This led to different philosophies and theories of ecology. Using the method of critical analysis, the researcher discovers that there is great contribution of African ecology (environment) to the high survival of COVID-19. On the other hand, the search for a possible cure and a vaccine for the novel coronavirus disease led to experiments on chlorophyll, aspirin and different African ecological medicinal plants as possible cure to covid-19 in Africa.
