Before the reunion with their respective families, each of the released inmates underwent a Covid-19 preliminary medical test. They were equally advised  to respect  the measures put in place by the Government of Cameroon and the World Health Organization in order to stay safe from the Corona Virus.

This marks the first phase of  released inmates in the North West Region, the second phase will be in the days ahead.
