"COVID-19 pandemic is highly contagious affecting all of us in particular the most vulnerable. Under this pandemic, all groups of the population must have access to reliable information, because it has been made clear that all categories of people depend on each other.
We can infect or contract Corona virus from each other irrespective of conditions, nationality, age rage or background and the only protection is having appropriate information on the disease symptoms, its mode of transmission and prevention.
Deaf and hard-of-hearing people were at the highest risk of being infected as they don’t receive information in the same way as the rest of the Rwandan community. They communicate through Rwandan Sign Language, which is known only by a minority."
