WINDHOEK, Feb. 22 (Xinhua) Many Namibians who contracted COVID-19 share experiences to raise awareness about the virus and fight stigma amid spiraling cases in the country.
Namibia has so far recorded 37,483 confirmed cases with 402 deaths and 35,090 recoveries.
Accordingly, the testimonies on the COVID-19 encounters, narrated on social media and public platforms, aid the government s efforts in containing the spread of COVID-19.
The country also faces the challenge of non-adherence to COVID-19 protocols. Some locals are still ignoring COVID-19 safety measures such as curfew, social distancing and wearing of masks, said Esther Muinjangue, deputy Minister of Health and Social Services.
