Critical Commentary
I took a photo of this sign on August 8, 2020. It was posted on a glass window inside a Kenyan rural town butchery. The butchery uses English to remind customers of accepted COVID-19 prevention protocols with the sign reminding the reader to wear a face mask. This message reflects an adoption and acceptance of disease prevention communication even in a rural context.
