A growing but controlled course of the disease
The Minister of Public Health (MINSANTE), Dr Manaouda Malachie, made public on January 16, 2021, the latest data on the Covid-19 pandemic in Cameroon. Since March 6, 2020, the date of the diagnosis of the first case of coronavirus: 28,010 people have been infected by the virus, 26,861 patients have been cured and 455 cases of death have been deplored. These figures confirm the upward trend in cases of Covid-19 contamination. The high cure rate of 96% and the low case fatality rates of 1.6% and severity 1.1% and bed occupancy 1.5% can be commended. Indeed, the country has 633 active cases and very few patients in the care units (Upec). During this period of the African Nations Championship (CHAN), avenues have been explored by officials from MINSANTE and the African Football Confederation (CAF), in order to avoid a rebound in the pandemic. The country's health authorities invite all components of the population to scrupulously respect the barrier measures prescribed by the President of the Republic and the WHO.
