Meanwhile in Daraa, a number of pharmacists in the al-Kashef neighborhood distributed masks, gloves, sanitizers, and rubbing alcohol for free among citizens.
In Suweida, a wide-scale sanitization campaign was carried out by a civil group, covering storefronts, markets, streets, neighborhoods, the industrial zone, the blocks factories area, and the national hospital, using 30 agricultural tractors with sprinklers to spray around 2,500 liters of hypochlorite.
Also in Suweida, volunteers from the Family Planning Association branch’s youth center distributed stickers to raise awareness around the city.
In Suweida’s southeastern countryside, the municipal council and civil groups carried out a cleaning and sanitization campaign for schools, the health center, the municipal building, roads, dumpsters, and storefronts.
