Somali Media Association (SOMA) has launched a COVID-19 booklet to guide journalists around the country in the face of the deadly pandemic.
Journalists are at risk of exposure to the virulent disease by virtue of the nature of their work.
Subsequently, the organization developed an Electronic Booklet Guideline to educate them on how to protect themselves while in the line of duty.
To do this, SOMA relied on support from various organizations such as the World Health Organization (WHO) and Center for Protection of Journalists African (CPJ Africa).
Other organizations that lent their support include Somali Journalists Syndicate (SJS), UN Assistance Mission in Somalia (UNSOM), and Ministry of Information, Culture, and Tourism.
