Social Norms
Community spread of COVID-19 has been one of the biggest challenges in the fight against the virus. It has created an urgent need for shifts in the behaviours and norms related to social interaction and community engagement. This page contains interpersonal communication materials developed and used by USAID partners as well as materials created by government and non-government agencies to empower communities to protect themselves and respond to those affected with respect and compassion.
The Coronavirus outbreak has necessitated maintaining social distance. This situation requires changing the way people greet and bid farewell to each other. This poster demonstrates some of the acceptable ways of greeting such as folding hands, waving or bowing. It can be displayed in healthcare facilities, hotels, shopping malls and residential complexes.
