As governments struggle to contain COVID19, public service announcements and communication must focus on making citizens accept that the illness is a reality, giving them the knowledge to prevent and treat the infection and debunking myths and fake stories which impact the effectiveness of the response.
This could save many lives
There is fertile ground for fake stories about Corona to thrive
If there is a thin line between love and hate, there is an even thinner line between fake news and reality, especially on social media.
While lockdown-induced mischief cannot be ruled out, there are other reasons fake news and misinformation thrives: low trust, information asymmetry, a culture of weaponizing information, life experiences, cultural beliefs, myths and fragile social cohesion.
Fake news of conspiracies against Africans and Muslims is too close to the reality of botched vaccine trials in northern Nigeria and two European scientists proposing that coronavirus vaccine trials start in Africa.
As a few West African countries such as Ghana and Nigeria begin to relax lockdown rules, governments, the media and civil society must intensify communications aimed at sharing factual information on coronavirus prevention and cure; building and keeping trust; and defusing existing and new prejudices.
Court in Jinja has dismissed a case in which Jinja Resident District Commissioner, Mr Eric Joseph Sakwa was challenging his interdiction after being charged with an alleged criminal offences.
High Court Judge Jeanne Rwakakooko ruled that Mr Sakwa, though appointed by the President in accordance with the Constitution, is a Public Officer and bound by the Public Service Standing Orders.
Court records show that on May 8, 2020, Mr Sakwa was served with a letter stating that he had been interdicted on the May 4, and signed by Mr Kakande but he argued that he was never given any hearing before the interdiction letter was written, in violation of the rules of natural justice.
Mr Sakwa's interdiction followed his arrest and arraignment in court over accusations of manslaughter to which he was remanded to prison but later released on bail pending trial.
Justice Rwakakooko held that Haji Kakande being the responsible officer in the President's Office, had the legal capacity to interdict Mr Sakwa, public officer, stopping him from exercising his powers and performing the functions of the office of the RDC until he is cleared of the charge of manslaughter against him.

When you’re angry, blue, or stressed out, your body floods with adrenaline and other stress hormones.
These hormones — and other substances released by a body under stress — affect the supply of blood to the heart muscle, increase the clotting of blood particles, and limit the blood flow in the coronary vessels, which may result in the build-up of a blood clot.
Chronic stress is also associated with increased inflammation in the body, which is implicated in several chronic conditions, including heart disease.
Some experts have also theorized that too much stress can speed the buildup of fatty plaque in your large and medium-sized arteries, a condition called atherosclerosis.
If you get angry enough, your arteries can squeeze together tightly; blood pushing through an area filled with soft plaque may then “erode” the fatty substance so that it ruptures, leading to the formation of a blood clot.
