Covid 19: Minister of Territorial Administration Instructs Governors, SDOs to Intensify Barrier measures



Paul Atanga Nji, Minister of Territorial Administration has given firm and strict instructions to the 10 Governors and 52 Senior Divisional Officers to intensify barrier measures to curb the spread of covid 19 into communities. MINAT boss is quoted to have issued a letter in which he ordered that the wearing of facemasks in public places is now obligatory. Minister Paul Atanga Nji's instructions comes following Prime Minister's call for Cameroonians to respect WHO and Government barrier measures. 
It should be recalled that since the outbreak of the pandemic, Paul Atanga Nji has been at the forefront distributing covid 19 support kits. 
In the communique issued on March 5, 2021, MINAT boss instructed that as from today March 8, hand washing basins and hand sanitizers must be placed in all public places, schools, markets, etc. He went further to reiterated that SDOs, DOs and mayors should go down regularly to ensure that these barrier measures are attic ly respected. 
On removal of corpse, the monster equally instructed that not more than 40 persons should be allowed to attend and that hospital officials should ensure it's respected. While the letter equally states that not.more than 50 persons should be allowed to attend a burial ceremony. The same measures concern churches, marriages and other public gatherings. 
Prospects are high at that if these instructions are respected, they could mitigate the widespread of covid 19 in communities. Notwithstanding, another school or thought holds that if the public doesn't adhere, MINAT may take more drastic measures which include prohibiting public gatherings, closure of bars, snacks and restaurants in order to intensify the fight against covid 19.
