No One Can Survive COVID-19 on an Empty Stomach

Since January 2020, the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic has continued its progress around the world, infecting more than two million people to date. While virus has no treatment or vaccine yet, many countries have benefited from strong government support and health systems. Unfortunately, this is not the case in Haiti.

The country of Haiti is now in full lockdown after recently reporting its first cases of coronavirus. Haiti has a population of more than 11 million people and is the poorest country in the Western Hemisphere. Inadequate sanitation, poor infrastructure, and a lack of access to education and supplies have already created suboptimal conditions for hygiene, with rural areas being the most vulnerable.
