STAY SAFE FROM COVID-19

A Public Service Announcement

by Arkchetype Productions

Accompanying fast evolving updates about the spread of COVID-19 which was recently declared a global health emergency by the World Health Organisation (WHO), is the outbreak of fake news and conspiracy theories, happening predominantly on social media, websites and mobile chat groups.

In hopes of bringing clarity to confusion, we put our thinking caps on, channeled our inner Sherlocks and scoured the internet for the most up to date and accurate information, addressing concerns close to our hearts!

Our first video “Masks: A Must?” hopes to answer pressing questions, debunk myths and generally point us in the right direction toward the use of masks and its efficacy.

Feel free to share this video with your family and friends, should you find it useful. This video can also be found on our Facebook, Linkedin, and Instagram pages. Don’t forget to watch out for our second video, coming soon!
