Physical distancing is our Social Responsibility and the only way to kill Coronavirus. however, it will take a lot of courage and discipline to practice it. Taking good care of your mental and physical health is important during this period.

Alors que la plupart des pays sont soumis à un confinement total ou à des déplacements restreints, les gens ne savent pas comment gérer cette situation. La Distance Physique est notre Responsabilité Sociale et le seul moyen de tuer le coronavirus, cependant, il faudra beaucoup de courage et de discipline pour le pratiquer. Prendre soin de votre santé mentale et physique est important pendant cette période. Nous avons donc décidé de lancer ces prix afin de récompenser les journalistes qui sensibilisent de la manière la plus efficace et créative sur la façon de rester en sécurité et de rester en bonne santé physique et mentale durant cette phase
