In one of the videos Wazi explains the new virus saying, “Hello, friends, it’s Wazi here. Do you know why we have to stay at home right now? There’s a new virus in town that’s making everyone sick. It can make you a little bit sick or very sick. To make sure less people get the virus, we all need to stay at home. If we all stay in our homes, then the virus can’t spread. So, stay home and stay safe.”
