Press Release signed by NW Governor, Adolphe Lele L'Afrique
The Governor of the Northwest Region, Adolphe Lele L'Afrique has in a communique indicated that there is another wave of the virus which may escalate if the efforts to fight the virus are not reinforced.
He made this call recently in Bamenda as he precided over a regional advocacy meeting with some stake holders in the region. He revealed that for over the last 10 days, the Northwest region has recorded about 116 positive cases and 5 deaths related to the virus. Statistics shows that, 1189 persons tasted positive and over 935 recovered,173 active cases are on treatment and 81 deaths were recorded, he added. It should be noted that 40 of these deaths occurred in health facilities while 41 were from the communities.
It is equally worth mentioning that Mezam division, Boyo, Donga mantung and Ngoketunjia are so far the most affected divisions in the region.The entire population is equally expected to actively participate in a covid 19 campaign expected to run for the next three months in all health facilities.
Moreso, the population must continue to put on their face masks in all gatherings, maintain social distance, carry out testing, regularly wash hands with soap and running water and in cases where there is no water use a hand sanitizer.
Protect yourselves and your loved ones from the virus
