Communities against coronavirus: Sierra Leone

Focus on Africa

Available for over a year

In Sierra Leone, a group of volunteers called the Portee Corona Response Unit runs a number of activities. They dispel fake news or rumours that are spread locally about coronavirus, they also go door to door speaking to residents about prevention measures. Back in 2014 during the Ebola outbreak they ran a similar project. Bola Mosuro has been speaking to Christopher Jones is the group's organiser. (Photo: Members of Portee Corona Response.
