This is the first time that the Head of State has been seen with this tool for protection against COVID-19.
Paul Biya, his wife Chantal and the suite accompanying them returned to Cameroon on Monday August 16, 2021, after a stay of more than a month in Geneva (Switzerland).
This is an extremely rare event! President Paul Biya, who returned to Yaoundé on Monday with the First Lady, wore an anti-covid face mask. Since the outbreak of the virus, President Biya has very rarely appeared masked during his international hearings and trips. Dressed in a dark suit, the tenant of the Etoudi Palace wore a white mask, identical to that of the First Lady, Chantal Biya who was at his side.
No doubt a desire to preach by good example while the World Health Organization warns of the risk of a third wave of Coronavirus in Africa, more dangerous than the first two.
