The Africa Centres for Disease Control and Prevention (Africa CDC) has said severe lockdowns are no longer the best way to deal with coronavirus waves.
Governments are now being urged to use public health and social measures to reduce the number of virus infections.
There should also be an emphasis on vaccinations, the Africa CDC briefing said.
Several countries experienced new waves of infection towards the end of last year.
South Africa attributed the recent surge in cases to the new variant Omicron.
