YAOUNDE - 10-Jul-2020 - 5:34 p.m. 827

The Head of Government chaired this July 10, 2020, the weekly government meeting dedicated to the evaluation of the response to the Coronavirus.

"During my travels in recent days in Yaound?, I witnessed the sad spectacle offered by some of our compatriots who refuse to wear the protective mask against COVID-19", denounced Joseph Dion Ngute, whose The remarks were relayed by CRTV Radio, the state media.

The Prime Minister chaired this Friday, July 10, 2020, the weekly interdepartmental meeting to assess the government's strategy to respond to COVID-19. The Head of Government castigated the release in compliance with the barrier measures.

A relaxation that has grown since the announcement, on April 30, by the same Prime Minister, of the lifting of certain restrictions. Many Cameroonians saw this as a sign of victory against the pandemic.

Since then, multiple reminders to the authorities have done nothing. In public places, the mask is less and less raised. At the bars and other places of celebration, physical distance is almost nonexistent.

The figures presented during this meeting by the Minister of Public Health, Malachie Manaouda show 15,173 confirmed cases, 11,928 people recovered from nearly 121,000 tests carried out.

Covid-19 puts gas in Cameroon :: CAMEROON

Concern is growing in Cameroon, the country most affected by the coronavirus epidemic in Central Africa. With more than 15,000 cases and around 400 deaths linked to the new coronavirus that is hitting the world, Cameroon is far ahead of the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) or Gabon, according to the World Health Organization (WHO).

Ironically, the government has long since ended the daily update on the epidemic in the country. On the front line, caregivers suffer the consequences of their exposure to the deadly virus. A few days ago, Manaouda Malachie, the Minister of Public Health said he was "deeply touched" by the losses recorded within the medical profession, not without promising to "continue improving the protection of health personnel while throughout this crisis. "

In an effort to unclog hospitals overwhelmed by the flow of patients, marquees were even erected at the military stadium in Yaound?, the capital, to accommodate the sick.

In any case, supports project manager Eric Mayang, "the slackening of the government (in monitoring) of the measures has led to the feeling, in a part of the population, that the disease has been overcome". The latter also said that "there is a minority who do not believe in the existence of the coronavirus because they do not have close victims of the disease".

However, the state seemed to take the bull by the horns by implementing a number of measures including the closing of borders, schools and universities, bars and restaurants after 6 pm, etc.

But in the town of the seven hills, some Cameroonians quickly sacrificed barrier gestures on the altar of the survival of the informal sector which employs 90% of the active population. "You have to eat well," says Mayang.

A few months ago, St?phane Nama Mekoua was mocked by his neighbors for wearing a mask while going about his business. It would be catastrophic, according to this administrative assistant in a non-governmental organization (NGO), to minimize the coronavirus epidemic to the point of comparing it "to malaria or typhoid fever".

On a daily basis, economic recovery has taken precedence over everything else. The Covid-19 has already broken into prisons. According to journalist Florine Dissake, "the government should have confined everyone", but such a decision had to be accompanied by compensatory measures which the state "may not have been able" to honor.

Unlike the West where populations have been put under suspicion, few African states have taken this option because of the structure of their economies. Cameroon, which has closed its air borders since March 18, is preparing to reopen them to avoid a big plunge.

However, specifies the Minister of Public Health, a "PCR test (virological diagnosis) negative to Covid-19 dating from less than three days (is) mandatory for all passengers".

This great country has also been facing the resurgence of measles in recent weeks. Thousands of cases have been reported in almost all regions. This contagious disease kills children aged 9 to 59 months whose vaccinations are greatly disrupted by the pandemic.

Led by an iron fist by Paul Biya since 1982, Cameroon is also facing a security crisis in its northern part where English-speaking armed movements are waging a secessionist battle.

CAMEROON :: Evolution of Covid-19: 16,157 confirmed cases and 13,728 cures :: CAMEROON

The latest data on the epidemiological situation was revealed yesterday by the director of health promotion at Minsant?, during the daily briefing.

Cameroon showed 16,157 confirmed cases of Covid-19 yesterday, 373 deaths and 13,728 healings. Figures presented yesterday by Dr Fann? Mahamat, director of health promotion at the Ministry of Public Health (Minsante) during the daily press briefing on the epidemiological situation in Cameroon. Faced with this situation, she said that the medical profession was doing everything to control, curb and stop the spread of the new coronavirus in our country. Despite the devastating Covid-19 pandemic, other diseases are rife.

In particular malaria, which is the leading cause of hospitalization and mortality in Cameroon. According to Dr. Fann? Mahamat, malaria has some symptoms similar to those of Covid-19 like headache, fever, asthenia. This makes the distinction between the two diseases difficult in the community. In this logic, the pandemic has reduced attendance at health facilities in the past four months. In this regard, Dr Fanne reassured that all measures have been taken by the Ministry of Public Health to ensure the safety of other patients and allow them to safely benefit from adequate health care and services.

Regarding the fight against malaria, the director of health promotion at Minsant? reviewed the efforts of the government and its partners. She said some areas have seen a surge in activity. "The campaign to distribute long-lasting treated mosquito nets was organized in 11 health districts in the Littoral region from June 25 to July 1, 2020," she said. She also mentioned the first round of the seasonal malaria campaign which took place from July 3 to 5, 2020 in the Far North and North regions.

A campaign which concerned children from 0 to 59 months. Three other tours are planned for September 2020. In addition, she recalled that treatment of malaria is free for children under 5 in health facilities since October 31, 2014. Likewise, the treatment protocol for the pregnant woman by the National Malaria Control Program is in place.
