They have also prepared audio recordings about COVID-19 in 35 different languages, which can be shared through social media.
The documents and recordings can be downloaded from the Catalan Government's website, which is updated regularly. For some of the languages, content is not on the government website, but available at the website of the organisation Creación Positiva.
Sweden – Skåne region
Civic and Health Communication Skåne, which is a part of Partnership Skåne, has received a national assignment related to the coronavirus, given its experience with evidence-based methods of health communication in migrants' native languages, coupled with a nationally unique capacity to quickly produce and share high-quality information in a number of languages nationwide.
Skåne has developed a concept for disseminating daily webcasts in different languages. The webcasts feature general information about COVID-19, daily updates from the Public Health Authority, questions and answers, and basic risk and protective factors. The programme was launched nationwide before Easter and the posts can be found here.
