Twenty activists, trained by the NGO People Development Aid for People (ADPP), will start in the next three months, to sensitize and mobilize communities, in the north-eastern Lunda-Norte Province, on a door-to-door basis, focusing on preventive measures against the new corona-virus (Covid-19).
The head of the non-governmental organization ADPP, Rosa Musonza, made mention that the awareness programme has the support of the World Health Organization (WHO) and it is part of a project on risk and community engagement.
This activity, according to him, should also count on the involvement of the traditional authorities.
He added that the staff will be deployed in rural areas, markets, public roads and centres to inform the population about forms of contaminsation and measures to prevent Covid-19.
He informed that the activists will be subdivided into two groups to act in the municipalities of Chitato and Cuango, in a first phase.
The province of Lunda Norte has three positive cases, of which two are active and one is recovered.
