According to Zambia’s National Radio local time on the 19th, Zambia’s Vice President, Ms. Inongh Wiener, called on the Zambian people to carry forward the same spirit of solidarity as the fight against HIV in the fight against the coronavirus pandemic, and also increase epidemic prevention awareness to communities.
Vice President Wiener said that in the current epidemic situation, Zambia already needs to change the code of conduct of citizens, eliminate prejudices and increase support for families, and community-based organizations such as non-governmental groups and churches can help achieve these initiatives.
In addition, she also called on all Zambians to abide by epidemic prevention regulations, such as washing hands frequently, disinfecting, avoiding public places if necessary, etc., and every Zambian citizen should take responsibility for fighting the COVID-19 pandemic.
