Amid the coronavirus outbreak in India Health Ministry released a comic
developed by PGIMER and Punjab University on Coronavirus to make the
children aware and make them understand how to prevent infection.
This comic named 'Kids, Vaayu and Corona: Who wins the fight?' is a brainchild
of Dr.Ravindra Khaiwal and his wife Dr.Suman Mor.
"There are growing concerns and perceived threat about the Coronavirus among
ordinary citizens. The parent should talk to the children and resolve their
queries, so they do not panic. However, sometimes parents might be busy, and
they might not be able to resolve their questions. Inspired by my own children's
queries, I wrote this comic," said Dr.Ravindra Khaiwal, Additional Professor of
Environment Health, School of Public Health, Department of Community Medicine
PGIMER, Chandigarh as quoted by ANI.
He also mentioned that the suggestion from children helped to make it more
tempting to read and learn.
Dr.Suman Mor, Additional Professor and Chairperson, Department of Environment
Studies, Panjab University, mention that they were working on comics for air
pollution awareness, and sudden outbreak of coronavirus inspired them to make
use of the developed characters to fight the threat of coronavirus.
"We were working on comics for air pollution awareness, and sudden outbreak of
coronavirus inspired them to make use of the developed characters to fight the
threat of coronavirus. The comic is designed to learn, along with fun, and
motivate children to be a hero of prevention by defeating corona and other
infectious germs," she said.
Prof.Jagat Ram, Director, PGIMER, appreciated the efforts and said this comic
would make children aware of the threat of Coronavirus and how to remain safe
through simple precautionary steps.
"Health ministry is also planning to translate this book in various Indian
languages, and soon the comic will be available in other languages such as Hindi
and Punjabi," he said.
