In the context of preventive and precautionary steps against the spread of COVID-19, and in view of the misconceptions and methods of dealing with this epidemic worldwide, the Syrian Society for Social Development team, in cooperation with UNHCR, implemented an initiative to spread awareness on COVID-19 at the Nabd center in sallakh, Sweida.

The initiative included posters in crowded and public places (ovens, public hospitals, pharmacies…).

These posters included information on the virus’s transmission methods, prevention, and procedures and ways for maintaining public safety.

Furthermore, several volunteers put expressions in crowded areas and public facilities. Hey also put signs on how to stand in line, and installed separators between people to keep a safe distance between them.

In addition, SSSD coordinated with municipalities and the city council to help sterilize and disinfect public facilities and places (schools, hospitals, health points, shops, public transportation, and places of worship).
