Abstract

COVID-19 is a new disease of pandemic proportions. Since the announcement of the first confirmed case of COVID-19 in Cameroon early this year, there has been an increasing number of circulating videos and messages from families about the poor management of their loved ones in clinical care settings. This correspondence highlights the challenges posed by COVID-19 and its impact on clinical care of patients in Cameroon.
