One of them urged young people to "join the government's efforts in the fight against this pandemic".

The other said social media should be used in such efforts.

"I appeal to all young people to use social networks to publish educational content... to make others aware that this disease exists and is causing pain and mourning for Mozambican families, so there is a need to wear a mask, wash hands and observe social distancing."
