Message : Your Excellency Alain Berset, Federal Counsellor of Switzerland, Excellencies, distinguished colleagues and friends, Lucy Nyambura is a health promotion officer in Mombasa City, Kenya. When COVID-19 arrived last year, a strict lockdown was introduced, but it was met with strong resistance by the local community, who refused to be tested, isolated or treated. As she made her daily rounds, providing information about the dangers of the new virus, Lucy was insulted in the streets and she and her team sometimes had to stop working for their own safety.
