On January 2021, 1, Fujita Medical University released the explanation slide "What is coronavirus? 27 version" for children on the homepage of the Department of Microbiology and Infectious Diseases and Facebook.
"What is a coronavirus?" Can be used for explanations to children by the Okazaki City Board of Education when the Fujita Medical University Okazaki Medical Center decided to accept passengers and crew members of the cruise ship "Diamond Princess". It was created in February 2020 at the request of "I want you to make such an easy-to-understand material."Before accepting it, I introduced it at the elementary and junior high school principals' meeting sponsored by the Okazaki Board of Education, and since it was well received, I posted it on Facebook and the homepage of the Department of Microbiology and Infectious Diseases so that it can be used by many people.
This time, we have updated the content of this "What is a coronavirus?", Focusing on "What I learned about the new coronavirus".Currently, daily life is restricted, such as the declaration of an emergency in 11 prefectures, but instead of unnecessarily aggravating children's anxiety, what I learned after a year, infection control measures We added positive messages such as enriched explanations, and explained the coronavirus in all 1 slides.
The creator, Aki Sakurai (Lecturer, Department of Infectious Diseases), said, "I think there are many children who have been forced to live a cramped life for the past year and have anxiety and doubts.I hope it will give children an opportunity to think about why it is difficult to control the infection of this virus and why they need a mask.
