Abstract

In the early phase of the COVID-19 pandemic, Cameroon was among the top five countries in sub-Saharan Africa and the first in central Africa in terms of number of confirmed cases. From the beginning, Cameroon faced the COVID-19 pandemic with the objectives of reducing viral transmission in the community, limiting the number of deaths, and lessening the socioeconomic impact of COVID-19.
