Recommended Resources
We recommend the CDAC Network Covid-19 response resource page which has a very comprehensive list of links to resources related to communicating with communities in relation to Covid-19. You may also find the following resources helpful.
OFFICIAL INFORMATION
Official information is regularly updated as new evidence emerges (eg. advice regarding masks). Keep checking these pages and update your own content with the most recent information. Also continually check whether your own government’s advice has been updated. Where possible give people links to official sources so they can confirm information for themselves. If advice has changed, let people know why it’s changed.
