Message: [QUOTE="Munyaradzi Mafaro, post: 46490, member: 636"] People have stopped following health rules after the coronavirus pandemic ended. The Okapale market in Windhoek shows how hygiene habits have changed. Traders sell barbecued meat called kapana with their hands. Customers touch food without cleaning their hands first. The area sees many visitors from different parts of the city each day. Namibia reported 129,038 coronavirus cases during the pandemic. The country recorded 125,299 people who recovered from the virus. Health officials counted 3,564 deaths from the disease. Some local business owners lost family members to the illness. The World Health Organization released these numbers in November 2021. Neliwa Lugambo sells cooked kapana at the market. She believes customers must take care of their health themselves. Nichodemus Shiimi lost his brother to the coronavirus. His brother caught the virus during a trip to Walvis Bay. Sarah Shipena provides water and sanitizer for customers at her restaurant. Many people cannot afford masks and hand sanitizer anymore. Unemployment makes it hard for residents to buy health supplies. Some customers ignore hygiene practices when eating food. A local woman said she has no job to pay for these items. Economic problems affect how people maintain cleanliness. Councillor Nestor Kalola warns people to stay careful about their health. Sewage water flows through riverbeds near homes in the area. About 500 houses need relocation from dangerous flood zones. Children play near contaminated water sources. The municipality must fix these infrastructure problems to protect residents. [/QUOTE]
