The fear of the invisible but prevalent Coronavirus (COVID-19), diseasecannot be overemphasized since there is the potential possibility of it wipingout the entire world population within a few months if adequate and quick stepsare not taken to curb this menace, and the sub-Saharan African (SSAn) region isno exception. It is evident that water, as an essential daily commodity, haslong been in a state of emergency in SSAn nations, which is largely attributedto decades of neglect by the successive governments, because it has not beenpossible to separate the existing bond between water, health, livelihood andthe economy. The laudable Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) proposed by theUnited Nations had yet to achieve the stated objective of improving thestandards of living and health conditions of the rural communities in the SSAnregion before the COVID-19 pandemic outbreak. This failure has been masked by asort of delusion in which the people of this region are subjected to thehardship of searching for clean and healthy water in their own ponds, rivers,streams and shallow hand-dug local wells on a continuous basis. Less than 17%of the rural population in all the SSAn communities can access basichand-washing facilities and sanitation systems. The total water productivity,as measured by the Gross Domestic Product (GDP) per cubic meter of totalfreshwater withdrawn, for the people was less than 5 GDP.
