All about Coronavirus: A Video for Kids and Their Families

Children are naturally curious, even when facing difficult challenges. This video was created by the University of Michigan School of Public Health for children and their families to share what we know about the coronavirus and outline proven public health methods for personal and community protection. Sharing basic scientific information with children can:


  • strengthen their resolve as they struggle with new, changing, and potentially scary realities,

  • inspire them to continue learning the facts about the epidemic,

  • encourage them to participate actively in helping slow the spread of the disease.

We are all in this together, and that includes our children! Michigan Public Health has created a companion guide for families to go with this video. Find the guide and many other resources here
