Ismael López
Health Promoter

0:26 – 0:32
Hi, I’m Ismael Lopez. Health promoter for the COVID-19 Project in Matamoros

0:32 – 0:34
Here the health promotion team

0:34 – 0:38
walks in all the sectors of the camp

0:38 – 0:41
to give information about COVID-19,

0:42 – 0:44
we talk about preventive measures,

0:44 – 0:47
we talk about the importance of hand washing

0:47 – 0:51
advising to use water and soap preferably,

0:51 – 0:55
we also talk about how to use facemasks,

0:55 – 1:00
how to put it on and how to dispose it once it is already used.

1:00 – 1:07
The people receive the information and advice in a very positive way,

1:07 – 1:11
since here in the camp there is a big population

1:11 – 1:15
and this is why they cannot have a social distancing,

1:15 – 1:17
That is something that is recommendable.

1:18 – 1:22
Before entering the consultation they have to wash their hands,

1:22 – 1:23
we have water points

1:23 – 1:29
and after that we separate people between the benches

1:29 – 1:33
which are sanitize once the patient

1:33 – 1:35
enters to the medical consultation.

1:42 – 1:45
The people are being positive about these preventive measures

1:45 – 1:49
because every day we go around the camp talking about this information.
