Baltimore NAACP Uses Sound Truck To Broadcast New COVID-19 Safety Campaign

BALTIMORE (WJZ) -- The NAACP in Baltimore has started a new campaign called #StayHomeBaltimore to inform people about the dangers of COVID-19.

The NAACP is driving a sound truck through city streets telling residents to "stay at home" during the coronavirus pandemic.

Baltimore City Health Commissioner Dr. Letitia Dzirasa said this week the city is trying to dispel rumors that African Americans are immune to COVID-19.
