- Notes
- Irene went to bupeni to create awareness on the coronavirus. She started by thanking the community members for keeping healthy then asked the members if they new anything about coronavirus.
Spreads through the air Charles said, hand shaking waiswa said saliva from one person to another nakiwala said and many more answers as the members suggested. Then Irene clarified about the virus saying it’s spread from an individual to another through the air from the mucus dropping of an infected person.
Irene continued to ask about the mode of spread of the germs and kakaire said hand shakes, coughing without torching the mouth and sneezing without covering the nose,then touch on the surfaces without washing hands, and several options as suggested by several individuals.
Irene was so impressed with the knowledge the community members had on the virus and added that they should avoid crowds, hugs, minimizing movement to towns and crowded places to avoid the spread of the germs and other prevention measures.
With that Irene asked the members to put all that they had discussed into practice.
