PROMOTED: NCDC and NNPC-IPPG reinforce TakeResponsibility theme with multi-lingual campaign
The coronavirus disease 2019 outbreak, which was first identified in Wuhan, China, in December 2019, has since become a global pandemic, spreading to almost every country in the world, including Nigeria.
The new #TakeResponsibility campaign, disseminated pan-Nigeria in Hausa, Igbo, Yoruba, Pidgin and English languages across Print, Radio and Social Media platforms, is premised on the key NCDC guidelines and safety precautions to stop the spread of the novel coronavirus. Other guidelines involve the practice of social distancing, such as avoiding large crowds; keeping physical contact to no less than 2 meters and wearing a face mask whenever one is in a public space; cleaning all surfaces frequently with disinfectants and avoiding fake news about the virus by getting information only from official sources .
