\nBackground
\nSince the outbreak of the novel corona virus, Cameroon has had its own bitter portion of this disease as so many lives have been lost and still counting. As reported by Africa CDC, Cameroon has had over 380 deaths as of the 26th of July. Like most other countries around the globe the country has been struggling to appropriately respond to the pandemic. The pandemic has affected virtually all sectors of the economy and stands to dramatically exacerbate the current sociopolitical crises. The scientific community continues to make progress in understanding the virulence, available treatment options and possible vaccine candidates. It is increasingly evident that COVID-19 will be around for a long time, hence it is imperative for Cameroon to better calibrate re-opening the economy while better controlling spread of new cases.

\nDiscuss the challenges the country has faced while responding to the pandemic
