The growing cases of COVID-19 upsurged the need for this campaign to check and limit the spread of the virus especially in cities area where people are getting more impulsive to go to market places and travel widely. This campaign is designed to inform, educate, and influence the public in a crowded place to stay safe in this pandemic and to put forward information that will help to filter out excess of misleading material.

The main agenda of the SMS (Social distancing, Use of Mask, and Use of soap and water/sanitization) campaign is to reinforce 3 major steps to prevent oneself from the disease and to promote the mask-wearing behavior in a proper way among the individuals. The project will continue for consecutive 6 months.
