Abstract

The rights of workers were seriously affected by the outbreak of COVID-19.  Coronavirus disease (COVID-19) is an infectious disease caused by a newly discovered coronavirus.  Employers have an obligation to protect workers during this pandemic.  Therefore, this paper aims to examine the Security and Health Measures available to workers in Cameroon.  It has become clear that most governments in the world underestimated the risks of rapid COVID-19 spread predominantly in African countries and were mostly reactive in their crisis response.  As disease outbreaks are not likely to disappear in the near future, this work recommends that proactive international actions be required to save lives and protect economic prosperity.
