#PTFCOVID19 Press Briefing:

“Studies in many countries have confirmed the effectiveness of wearing masks in reducing the risk of covid transmission, since it provides mutual protection to all wearers”.-HMoH @DrEOEhanire

#PTFCOVID19 “It does not help for anyone to continue to deny the presence of #COVID19 in our communities, or to test its virulence by engaging in risky behavior. The consequences can be dire.” - HMOH @DrEOEhanire

“We urge all shops, businesses, service centers and places authorized to open to the public, to require that their customers and visitors use masks and adhere to these simple measures or else be denied entry.” -HMoH @DrEOEhanire

“It is also important to state for clarity:
1. That masks must cover the mouth and nose
2. That a mask pushed under the chin is not effective and should not be under the chin for any reason,
3. That we need the mask most, when we are speaking...

it should therefore not be removed to speak.
4. that wearing a face shield alone has not been proven to offer the same protection as a mask and should either be combined with a mask or totally left to healthcare providers, for whom they were actually intended” -HMoH @DrEOEhanire

#PTFCOVID19

“#COVID19 must not be trivialized and all citizens must care for themselves, their families and each other. There is presently no room for parties and unnecessary travel; these will have to wait till further notice.” -HMoH @DrEOEhanire
