In the last 3 days, I’ve had to walk in the shoes of the #FrontLineHeroes

And I must confess that wearing the PPE alone for just very few hours was super uncomfortable.

The struggles of the frontline workers is real o! Let me share with you some of the harsh realities

🧵

Asides from dealing with exhaustion from increased work load, the frontline workers also experience:

➡️ Adverse skin problems resulting from wearing the PPE— face masks, goggles, face shields, gloves for long hours— skin problems like Acne, irritation, infection...

And, in extreme cases, the development of ulcers, like decubitus ulcers on the skin.

➡️ Psychological injury- such as post traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and other similar conditions as a result of dealing with #COVID-19.

➡️ Contracting the Virus and worse - Death 💀

Even if we have nothing to donate to these heroes working tirelessly to ensure our safety, lets donate our love and acts of kindness;

#StayHome and If you must step out:
- Embrace social distancing,
- Wash your hands with soap and water regularly,

- use an alcohol-based hand sanitizer ,
- Use a Nose mask

🙏
