It also revealed that 156 deaths have been recorded as a result of the virus.
Addressing the nation on May 19th, at the eve of Cameroon’s National Day, President Paul Biya said the health system was ready.
He however admitted that battling the virus is “complex and difficult”.
“Our health system is mobilised to combat this terrible disease,” Paul Biya said in a rare eve of May 20th address.
Cameroon remains one of Africa’s most affected countries since the pandemic broke out over two months ago.
