COVID-19 and Health Literacy
A mini-series that provides vital COVID-19 messages was produced and imbedded into the existing radio series. The Ministry of Health's website features this series as a prime source of COVID-19 information.
The talk show features a health professional who answers callers’ COVID-19 questions on air.
While in lockdown, the live, interactive plays have been converted to recorded plays for broadcast. Listeners provide real-time feedback through calls and text messages.
The radio program’s popular Facebook page now includes weekly posts with Ministry of Health-approved COVID-19 messaging along with existing drama stories.
