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.
