Knowledge sharing on COVID-19 to kids – promotion of good hygiene, health and wellbeing by Dr Garry Kuan, School of Health Sciences, USM

November 2020

Due to the fact that many younger children are still unaware of the dangers of COVID-19, Dr Garry Kuan and his student – Devy Kuan collaborated with Fargoes Press Sdn Bhd to create an activity book to educate children about COVID-19 (Kenali COVID-19). The book was distributed throughout all States in Malaysia. Additionally, 300 books were distributed to nine kindergartens in Kota Bharu, educating 300 children about the COVID-19. There are thirteen topics, including what COVID19 is, how COVID was spread, and how to stop COVID-19 spread. The objective is to engage students through enjoyable and simple activities such as colouring, mix-and-matching, paper origami, and word search.
