Mr Jean Bertrand Tjombe Biyiha (Institute of Geological and Mining Research (IRGM), Yaounde, Cameroon)

Description

This poster will illustrate how the COVID-19 pandemic arrived in Cameroon, rules that were implemented by the government to avoid the pandemic, how the population lives (working and studying) with COVID-19, protocol of Government, self-prevention solutions and statistics of the population (tested, affected, safe) after a month and to date.

Given the barrier measures, the challenge was to able to replace this power transformer in order to maintain the normal operation of the station while respecting barrier measures prescribed by the World Health Organization with regards to the number of people that must install the transformer.
