“Short and concise, easy to remember and apply” Facebooker Hoang Trang shared. 

The appeal of the videos, according to the general public, is vivid graphic images, short sentences and simple language such as: “What to do if you were in contact with a Covid-19 infected person/suspected to be infected”, “What to eat to combat the Corona virus”, “Telling common flu from Covid-19 symptoms” … made information on Covid-19 prevention simpler, easier to understand and remember.
