Professor Mbacham also recommended the eating of fruits rich in zinc and vitamin C like citrus fruits, tomatoes, pawpaw, cauliflower and others. “I will add these to my daily intake so that if there is anything that is COVID, I should be able to beat it down,” he stated.

This counsel is coming at a time when over 1,163 persons in Cameroon have been infected by the virus with 43 dead. Meanwhile, 329 have recovered as of April 21, 2020.
