Covid-19 Awareness: Model demonstrates the ‘importance’ of the medical facemask

In an precedented awareness campaign, a Facebook model has demonstrated the importance of the medical facemask as she adorns herself with it.

At the wake of the Coronavirus otherwise known as Covid-19, one of the preventive protocol outlined by the World Health Organization, WHO is the use of facemask and physical distancing to curtail the spread.

As part of the protocol is the lockdown measure and stay-at-order by various governments for over eight weeks this crippling businesses, religious worship and social gathering amongst other activities.

Daily the National Centre for Disease Control, NCDC releases figure of new infection, recovered cases, active cases and number of deaths to keep citizens abreast on emerging issues and trends.

Since the outbreak in Wuhan, China in December of 2019, medical experts say there is no effective medication or vaccines for its treatment except for traditionally made oral treatment in Madagascar in May, 2020.

WHO has said the options left is the effective use of medical facemask and maintaining physical distancing in public places.

As government makes efforts to gradually ease off the lockdown, many roadside tailors started mass production of cloth facemask as against the prescribed medical facemask.
