Clean Hands is Key!

Hand hygiene is one of the most effective ways to reduce the spread of infectious diseases like #LassaFever, #COVID19 and #Cholera.

Encourage the practice of regular hand washing with soap and running water among your family and friends to stay healthy.
Germs can live on surfaces for hours & can easily be passed from person to person through our hands.

Disinfect surfaces regularly to prevent the spread of #COVID19 in your home, shops, offices & community.

#TakeResponsibility, protect yourself, customers, employees & society.
Staying healthy is everyone's business.

Wash your hands regularly to prevent the spread of diseases:
Before eating or preparing a meal
Before wearing a face mask
After using sanitary facilities
After sneezing or coughing
Upon arrival at home
