The COVID-19 caseload on the continent is still growing. Its even more urgent now for governments to remind citizens to stay safe, social distance and wear masks. When it comes to smoking, encourage people to stop as smokers are likely to get more severe symptoms #SayNoToTobacco

Countries are lifting or easing lockdown restrictions and curfews. But COVID-19 is still a threat. We must still encourage people not to smoke cos they're more likely to get more severe symptoms if they get COVID-19. Share a message, save a life!
