#COVIDnaPlanThere is need to alline existing FP material with covid 19 information
Also making FP accessible to adolescents and youth through community descension
We have trained community volunteers and health care workers
#COVIDnaPlan Health facilities have remained open to offer FP services
Some designated pharmacists are also providing FP services, there is plan to for targeted outreaches at a low scale while observing covid 19 IPC measures
#COVIDnaPlan in observant of covid 19 prevention measures ie,sanitizing,washing hands with soap and running water,avoiding touching surfaces and appropriate use of masks,keeping social distance you will be safe to access a health care facility for services
#COVIDnaPlan we may have increases teenage pregnancies, like there is a report on social media yet to be verified through health facility data and community reports,
#COVIDnaPlan#TukaeRadar some adolescents and youths who live in rural areas fear walking long distances since they can be rapped or face any criminal victimization thus leading to failure in accessing FP services
COVIDnaPlan Since most of the adolescent and youth are staying at home, spending most of the time on social media learning new things that may be of negative effect to their reproductive health
#COVIDnaPlan 1.due to movement restrictions and fearof covid infections, adolescents have not been able to access FP services adequately as it should be.They have found themselves indoors most the time
