COVID in rural Namibia
Even in very remote locations in Northern Namibia I found people wearing masks to deal with the COVID-19 pandemic.
In addition to masks (often larger than the rest of the clothes: here is an interesting recycling idea), I even found a hands-free hand wash station in a small public school in the Kunene region.

Selbst an sehr abgelegenen Orten im Norden Namibias fand ich Menschen, die Masken trugen, um sich in der COVID-19-Pandemie zu schützen.
Neben Masken (oft größer als die übrige Kleidung: hier ist eine interessante Recycling-Idee) habe ich in einer kleinen öffentlichen Schule in der Kunene Region sogar eine touch-free Handwaschstation gefunden.
