YOUR CORONAVIRUS RESPONSE TOOLKIT
To help you share critical messaging about social distancing, personal hygiene, risk factors, and mental health, we’ve collected PSAs, social media assets, suggested scripts, and much more. It’s all right here in the Coronavirus Response Toolkit.
SEE THE WORK
One of our first PSAs, released March 20, features Dr. Deborah Birx, Dr. Jerome Adams, and Dr. Anthony Fauci, who encourage people to stay at home and practice social distancing to help slow the spread.
We’ve partnered with NBCU to launch a new series of "The More You Know" videos.
In partnership with ViacomCBS, our #AloneTogether campaign has just launched this video featuring DJ Khaled, Noah Cyrus, and cast members from Love Is Blind and The Circle.
To encourage support of food banks in this difficult time, we’ve released this video as part of our ongoing efforts to end hunger.
And we’ve partnered with Sesame Workshop to launch a series of PSAs including “Washy Wash,” a catchy new song from the one and only Elmo that encourages handwashing.
