(Minister Yemena G. Meskel) – Nation-wide sensitization programs through all local media outlets (Radio, TV and mobile telephone) have been and continue to be ramped up to enhance comprehensive and profound public awareness on grave dangers of COVID-19.

Prevention and leveling the curve is predicated on awareness.

Regular TV/Radio programs such as “Doctors in Studio”, and “Ray of Health” are now broadcast with increased weekly frequencies.

These are supplemented, on a daily basis, by new interactive panel discussions on a range of timely issues to cover all the dimensions of the pandemic

The awareness programs are crucial for ensuring full citizen’s compliance with all Guidelines issued by the High-Level Task Force on COVID-19. These include: ban on Flights; public transport vehicles; intercity buses; private cars as well as nation-wide “stay-at-home” orders.
