This paper analyses the evolution of COVID 19 disease in Cameroon over the |
|
period March 6 April 2020 using SIR model. Specifically, 1) we evaluate the |
|
basic reproduction number of the virus. 2) Determine the peak of the |
|
infection and the spread-out period of the disease. 3) Simulate the |
|
interventions of public health authorities. Data used in this study is |
|
obtained from the Ministry of Health of Cameroon. The results suggest that |
|
over the period, the reproduction number of the COVID 19 in Cameroon is |
|
about 1.5 and the peak of the infection could occur at the end of May 2020 |
|
with about 7.7% of the population infected. Besides, implementation of |
|
efficient public health policies could help flattens the epidemic curve. |
