“A recent contribution of $120,000 (close to 71 million CFA) and on-going technical support to address the coronavirus outbreak comes on top of $45 million (26.5 billion CFA) of assistance since 2014 that has expanded the capacity of the health sector to prevent, detect, and respond to infectious disease outbreaks.” The press release stated.

The release further stated that Cameroon’s Public Health Emergency Operation Centre, established through support from the United States, has been activated to coordinate the coronavirus response, health officials trained through the U.S.-funded Field Epidemiology Training Program are conducting surveillance and case investigations, and U.S. support has increased capacity for laboratory diagnosis.

On precautions to take, to avoid contracting the virus, the U.S embassy said, “For individuals to contribute to preventing the spread of coronavirus and other respiratory infections:  avoid close contact (within 2 metres) with people who appear sick; avoid touching your eyes, nose, and mouth; clean and disinfect frequently touched objects and surfaces, and wash your hands often with soap and water for at least 20 seconds or use an alcohol-based hand sanitizer.”

For those with symptoms, the U.S Embassy should call the Ministry of Public Health’s toll-free hotline by dialling 1510 to receive advice on steps to take, in order to access the necessary help.

Next time I read a blog, Hopefully it does not disappoint me as much as this one. After all, Yes, it was my choice to read through, however I really believed you would have something helpful to talk about. All I hear is a bunch of complaining about something that you could fix if you weren’t too busy looking for attention.
