#TakeResponsibility to raise awareness on the importance of washing our hands 🙌🏾 with soap and running water to fight off infections like #COVID19 and #Cholera.

Let’s continue to encourage our loved ones and those around us to adhere to prevention behaviours for a healthier and safer future.

#HandHygieneforAll

Not everyone infected with #COVID19 shows symptoms.

Remember to maintain a HIGH index of suspicion for #COVID19 and adhere to all preventive measures. Always:

✅ wear a face mask properly in public places
✅ maintain a physical distance of 2 metres

#TakeResponsibility

#AntimicrobialResistance!

It is the bacteria, not the person or animal, that becomes resistant to antimicrobials!

#TakeResponsibility

Encourage your friends, family & community to practice these healthy habits to help slow the spread of #COVID19:

✔️ Wash or sanitise your hands 🙌🏾 frequently
✔️ Wear a face mask in public 😷
✔️ Always cough or sneeze into your elbow
✔️ Practice physical distancing, 2 arms length apart
✔️ Stay indoors and self isolate if you feel sick.

The power to stop #COVID19 is in our hands 🙌🏾

#TakeResponsibility

Bacteria become resistant when they change and do not respond to the antibiotics used to treat the infections they cause.

#Antimicrobials given to humans, animals, fish and crops must be used ONLY with prescription. Do not misuse or overuse.

#AntibioticGuardian #NAAW2021 #SpreadAwarenessStopResistance

Physical distance helps avoid contact with respiratory droplets when an infected person with #COVID19 talks, coughs or sneezes.

Keep a distance of 2metres from anyone showing symptoms of a respiratory illness to stay safe.

#TakeResponsibility

With an incubation period of at least two hours, #cholera can kill within hours if untreated.

It is easily transmitted in areas with poor sanitation hygiene practices and lack of clean water.

Reporting suspected cases early increases chances of survival
