  • 摘要:While media has been voluminous in responding to the novel coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic; lack of access to key information has relegated rural communities in the developing world as one of the most at-risk populations.Arguably, information has been a vital tool during the global crisis, carrying vital messaging on disease spread, transmission, treatment and management.Information availability results in protective health behaviours without which communities succumb to devastating impacts of infectious disease.In Zimbabwe, communities in marginalised and hard to reach areas are the most susceptible to infectious disease, because of insufficient information on symptoms, progression, and actions to take towards treatment.
