Zambians are known for having warm, loving hearts toward each other so no handshake and close contact when greeting is a strange thing. Schools are closed and playing kids are isolated from one another, which is odd for a new generation. Kids in Zambia love to play in mini-groups of 5-15 depending on the traditional game.
The social distance and quarantine are reducing the spread of the virus and resulting in fewer vehicles and people traffic on the roads. Mosi oa Tunya Road leading to Victoria Waterfalls usually full of tourists and locals on sidewalks is now merely empty.
As prevention measures during COVID 19 Zambian Council implemented also the availability of handwash buckets. Disinfected stands are found in front of the mall entrance the same with distance ribbons on the floor to direct customers of social distance.
Hand washing is a must before using ATM Machine or any other monetary transaction.
In Zambia, as in Poland, there is a lack of face masks. Masks are handmade of chitenge fabrics. The local tailoring shops have hand washing buckets in front of the shop to prevent hand to the surface transmission of COVID 19. Before and after touching any fabrics you have to wash your hands.
Local fruit vendors are also keeping safe. All customers have to wash their hands before touching fruits.
61 is the total number of confirmed COVID 19 cases in Zambia, including 3 deaths and 33 recoveries.
