Do you still #WearAMask?

#COVID19 is still a threat and not every infected individual show symptoms.

#TakeResponsibility, wear a face mask covering your nose and mouth to protect yourself and those around you.
A sudden loss of taste and smell with fever, headache or runny nose may be #COVID19 and NOT malaria.

Do NOT ignore these symptoms.

Get tested and stay safe.
