Around the world, Doctors Without Borders / Médecins Sans Frontières (MSF) is responding to COVID-19 in different countries. 

But how do you explain the pandemic to a child? How do you make them understand that they can’t play outside, or go to school because many people are sick with COVID-19? What do you say to them if a relative or friend tests positive for COVID-19?

Using simple explanations and engaging activities, children can learn not only how this virus works, but also how to protect themselves.
