A clean environment helps to prevent the spread of infectious diseases.

As schools close for the week, school authorities should ensure that waste from sickbays and used face masks are kept from the reach of children and safely disposed of.

This year, 10 States have recorded at least one confirmed case of #LassaFever (LF) across 20 Local Government Areas.
