For Families and Homes

The more people come into your house the higher the risk of getting coronavirus
Stay home. Do not go visiting neighbours, friends and relatives.

Everyone can have the disease, including the people you share your house with. Keep intimacy with your spouse at a minimum
If you share cooking utensils with other families and neighbours, always clean before use
If you are sleeping in a crowded room, try having a pillow between you and the next person
Stay safe from other diseases, especially malaria. It is still the biggest killer disease. Use mosquito nets and clean your surroundings

You are at high risk because the markets are tight and there a lot of people
