Coronavirus disease (COVID-19) is an infectious disease caused by a newly discovered coronavirus. Most people infected with the COVID-19 virus will experience mild to moderate respiratory illness and recover without requiring special treatment. Older people, and those with underlying medical problems like cardiovascular disease, diabetes, chronic respiratory disease, and cancer are more likely to develop serious illness.
The disease spreads from person to person through infected air droplets that are projected during sneezing or coughing. It can also be transmitted when humans have contact with hands or surfaces that contain the virus and touch their eyes, nose, or mouth with the contaminated hands.
The best way to prevent and slow down transmission is to be well informed about the COVID-19 virus, the disease it causes and how it spreads. Protect yourself and others from infection by washing your hands or using an alcohol based rub frequently and not touching your face.
Hiwot Ethiopia was delivered personal protective materials (such as alcohol, mask, sanitizer and liquid soap) in Addis Ababa to:
-Woreda 6 & 9 (Arada sub city)
-Woreda 6 & 5 (Gulelle sub city)

as part of its effort in prevention of COVID-19 pandemic to the target community. As such, the support is financed by Save the Children, Child Right Governance Project. Hiwot Ethiopia would like to forward its appreciation to Save the Children.
Let’s work together to support our community.
