Washing your hands regularly with 🧼 and 💦 is one of the most important ways or measures to stop the spread of infectious diseases including #COVID19.
 
It is simple but it is very important!!!

#HandHygieneforAll
Contaminated water and poor sanitation are linked to the transmission of diseases such as #cholera.

Make your water safe before use
Use water from reliable sources
Boil water before drinking
Store water in properly covered containers

We held a send forth ceremony for our post-baccalaureate interns.

For us at Nigeria Centre for Disease Control, young people are integral to the work we do now and for the future, as we aim to build a generation of 'disease detectives'

Over the last three months, the #NCDCInterns have immensely studied and contributed across various departments to achieve our mandate of protecting the health of Nigerians.
