DISCUSSING FACTS AND MYTHS ABOUT CORONAVIRUS
In Senegal there are many speculations about the virus that can jeopardize proper measures to avoid contamination. For instance, some will say “coronavirus does not affect africans”; “If you drink cow urine, you will not get infected by coronavirus”;“Coronavirus does not live in hot climates” etc. These are few of the things I hear people say in Senegal specially in remote areas such as Kanel, where access to acute information may be impossible for many. I decided to make this video to set the record straight.
