From March 1st 2021, as our Curfew timings are rel From March 1st 2021, as our Curfew timings are relaxed (10pm-4am) and sale of Alcohol resumes in a controlled manner, let us also remind ourselves that the spread of Covid19 with multiple new strains is now more faster, more deadlier resulting in more morbidity than ever before (this is as per latest Govt. statistics). 
This makes it our primary responsibility to ensure we not only follow the basic precautions (washing our hands, social distancing, wearing masks) but we need to do MORE. A Lot more. Let us take extra precautions!! #ShopWithSAFETY #AvoidGatherings #WearGogglesOrFaceShield #AvoidPlacesWhereYouRemoveMask (ref. poster/share with all). This way, we can still hope to avoid the spread and contain it successfully as much as possible, while we await the most anticipated VACCINE ROLLOUT IN BOTSWANA! 
Let us continue to follow basic precautions even after Vaccine rollout, as Covid19 has no cure. #IssuedInPublicInterestByBothoUniversity #DrinkResponsibly #SupportBusinessesByTakeOut #OrderOnline #TakeExtraPrecautions #PreventTheSpread
