By Anye Nde Nsoh

After attending Bamenda II council Mid-year evaluation session, the Senior Divisional Officer for Mezam Simon Emile Mooh, has banned all forms of sporting activities in his Division of command. This was done Wednesday July 22, 2020.

This follows the consistent increase in the number or infected Coronavirus patients in the North West Region and Bamenda II being the heart of contaminated.

Stating his aim for attending the mid-year evaluation session, Simon Emile says his aim is to sensitize the population of this municipality on COVID-19 and tasked Coucillors to involve in massive sensitization campaign.

"I came here today to sensitize the population of this municipality about the number of infected persons in Mezam which are in the rise." 

“We have come with this message, asking all the Councillors to go back on the field and sensitize the population to fight against this COVID-19. 
We all know the virus is within our community and it is very important that we should take all security measures to protect our children. We should respect the barrier measures by wearing our mask, washing of hands with soap and respecting social distancing.”

As a result of the increase in the number of infected COVID-19 patients the SDO has signed a Prefectural order banning all collective sporting activities Mezam.

“You should also know that i am signing a Prefectural order banning all collective sporting activities between Mezam. It appears some were not informed but i have to say it here that all forms of collective sporting activities are forbidden till further notice.

“Those who will be caught will be sanctioned according to the laws put in place by the penal code for propagating willingly and deliberately the virus." the SDO cautioned
This message comes a day after governor of the North West region Adolph Lele L'Afrique, received and distributed some COVID-19 preventive kits to some 11 Health Districts accommodating Coronavirus patients in the region.

 He also promised that defaulters of the law will be arrested and detained.

In spite of this, sports lovers wonder which should be considered at top priority, night clubs and churches meanwhile sports is abandoned.

The North West region has so far recorded 646 infected cases, 399 recovered and 63 deaths as of July 22, 2020.

What is Ukraine's offence? Why has Russia chosen to launch an offensive at this point and what exactly does it seek to achieve? What will happen next and where is the world heading? These and other questions have been attended to here. It may end up being a long piece but I appeal on you to exercise some patience and come along with me.

It is common for them to share a bed with one party today and avoid them the next if their interests change and the fellow becomes irrelevant or too dangerous to stay close. Common i...
