Young Cameroonian researchers propose the use of drones to combat Covid 19.
Young Cameroonian researchers propose the use of drones to combat Covid 19.
The Ministry of Scientific Research and Innovation has welcomed the proposal of some young Cameroonians suggesting the use of drones to limit and consequently eradicate the coronavirus which has now infected 75 persons in Cameroon.
The researchers from the Global Map Lumia & Co who met with Minister Madeleine Tchuente in Yaounde Wednesday, 25 March, explained that the master plan consists of urgently mapping the areas infected or with high infection potential and carry out a disinfection campaign in public spaces and large gathering areas. Markets, for example, could be aerially sprayed in order to limit the possibilities of the virus due to human-interactions.
They also say that, potential carriers of Covid 19 can be detected through aerial and terrestrial thermograph techniques and if necessary the drones could be used to deliver survival kits and other materials to needy zones.
The idea may be a novelty in Cameroon, but not new to other African countries who are already applying the use of Information and Communication Technologies to fight the global pandemic. Rwanda and Ghana are already using medical drones to attend to emergency cases of Covid 19.
