Jos, 04 December 2020 – “Everyone individually and collectively must act to prevent this disease from spreading in our villages and WHO is leading the way,” says Mallam Shuaibu Musa, Ward Head for the Angwan Rogo/Rimi community, Plateau State.
For Musa, testing is the first step in bringing an end to this pandemic and he is optimistic that the efforts of the World Health Organization (WHO), working through the local governments, will go a long way in combating the spread of the virus and encourage people to be tested. “Many are afraid to go out for the test, they think it is the testing that brings the disease. But this is not so. If they don’t get tested, how will we know those who need to be treated and isolated. I am going to make sure my community members understand what this is all about”, he said.
