#TakeResponsibility
Healthcare workers are advised to always be vigilant - lookout for symptoms of #LassaFever, not all fevers are malaria.

Any febrile illness that has not responded to the use of anti-malaria or antibiotics after 48 hrs should raise an index of suspicion for #LF.

#LassaFeverInfo
#COVID19 is caused by a virus, not bacteria.

Antibiotics should not be used in treatment, except in presence of bacterial infections. Misuse of antibiotics in treating #COVID19 could lead to the emergence and spread of #AntimicrobialResistance.
