Spreading the word on how to stop spread of COVID-19 in Micronesia

Posted on Apr 06 2020
Collaborating to help members of the Micronesian community to understand how they can slow the spread of CV-19, Mañelu has translated and recorded public service announcements in Kosraean, Pohnpeian and Chuukese. Choice Broadcasting has edited and produced the announcements and prepared them for airing on STAR101, BOSS104 and ThePOINT.
“We were concerned that some members of the community were not getting the information they needed to slow the spread of CV-19 and protect their families from the disease” said Samantha Taitano of Manelu.
“We’re all pulling on the same rope and everyone needs to know what steps they can take to ‘flatten the curve,’” said Ray Gibson, managing partner of Choice Broadcasting. “We’re happy to do the same for other groups that would like to reach out with their announcements for CV-19 programs.”
Mañelu, formerly known as “Big Brothers Big Sisters of Guam,” is a nonprofit organization based in Guam.
To “flatten the curve” is a statistical term that, in the case of the coronavirus, refers to limiting infections rates. (PR)
