Biya orders disbursement of FCFA 1 Billion for fight against COVID-19

Biya orders disbursement of FCFA 1 Billion for fight against COVID-19.

Cameroon’s Head of State, Paul Biya, has ordered the disbursement of FCFA 1 Billion to help in the fight against the Coronavirus pandemic that has so far killed six persons in Cameroon, with one hundred and ninety-three infected persons as at Tuesday morning.

According to a decree from the Prime Minister Head of Government Chief Dr Joseph Dion Ngute made public on Tuesday, the money will be urgently set aside to finance response strategy operations to curtail the rapid spread of the Coronavirus pandemic in Cameroon.

This falls in line with the creation of a Coronavirus response special national solidarity fund by the Head of State to help combat the pandemic that spreads like grass in the country.

In less than a month, the country saw its COVID-19 cases climb up from two to over 200 with new cases now confirmed every day.

According to the Minister of Public Health, most of those testing positive for the virus are travellers who recently returned from abroad.

In order to contain the spread of this virus, the Government announced a series of measures two weeks ago, measures which are still to be observed in their entirety by Cameroonians.

The latter have however been urged to stay home as much as possible and go out only if necessary so as to curb the spread of the virus.
