Liberia has confirmed 170 cases of coronavirus and 20 people have died after contracting the disease. The government has mobilised hundreds of contact tracers to identify anyone who has been in contact with someone infected with coronavirus. However, denial and stigma around the virus is making the task of health workers and volunteers on the ground even more difficult. Coronavirus survivors like Nathaniel Blama have been called in to help spread awareness about Covid-19. Nathaniel is considered to be "patient zero" - the first person diagnosed coronavirys in Liberia. He told us that he felt afraid of the stigma when he was first diagnosed.
