WHO officials also participated in the 'wear a mask campaign' that began in September at the District Bar Council in Peshawar to promote public and social health measures to prevent the spread of the COVID -19 virus. Bar Council President Mr Marwat and lawyers distributed masks and encouraged individuals to continue following COVID-19 precautionary and preventive health measures in spite of reduced numbers of COVID-19 cases in the country.
“Vaccination is a key tool in ending this pandemic, but it is not the only measure that can keep us safe. People still need to adhere to proven measures that work, such as mask use and physical distancing. While it is reassuring to see so many people being vaccinated, no one is safe until everyone is safe and we all need to play a part in protecting others who may still be at risk,” Dr Al-Mandhari stressed.
