Disability and COVID 19

Story
I got up one morning and heard "Corona virus". What is this? I wandered.before I could understand it I heard of serious preventive measures.wash your hands regularly with soap and water, use alcohol based sanitizers as often, wear face mask and keep social distancing.wow really great measures.Until I worked with the coordinating unit of associations of persons with disabilities in Bamenda.who has imagined how possible it is for them to implement these measures since they depend so much on assitive divises , personal assistants and objects for their movements.how do you explain COVID 19 to someone who is intellectually impaired or someone with down syndrome or autism? So many things came to my mind.
