＜Background of the project＞
Voices from the field of education
・Difficult terms and abbreviated words are difficult for students to understand, and it is difficult to teach them how to prevent infection.
・It is difficult to teach students how to prevent infection.
・We believe that one of the reasons for the spread of infection is that children and students develop misunderstandings in this situation and are not taking preventive actions.

In making this film from the medical front
・Focus on what should be communicated to students, such as what they should be careful about in school life.
・Replace the word with something that can be experienced in school life.
　- "Restaurant meetings": An image of an evening restaurant or drinking meeting that involves serving customers → Lunch scene at school.
　- "Lunchtime karaoke": An image of karaoke during the daytime when elderly people gather → A scene of karaoke after school.
　- "3 mitsu": Only the word is used and the image of the content is not clear → close, dense, and hermetic should be noted.

In the "Medical Knowledge Manga Series" provided by Smart119, we have covered how to wear a mask, mental care, and countermeasures against new coronavirus infections in restaurants, based on the insights of emergency and intensive care physicians and medical professionals. This information is already being used effectively in many public institutions. We have received many requests from educational institutions such as universities, kindergartens, and elementary, junior high, and high schools to adopt measures to prevent infectious diseases in school life before the spring season for entering and moving up to higher education.

In the media coverage of infectious disease prevention, there is a tendency that students do not understand the content correctly because of medical terminology and the word "kaishoku" which is associated with "meetings where there is entertainment and drinking. Against this background, educational institutions are finding it difficult to provide educational guidance on infection prevention.

This work is divided into "good things" and "things to be careful about" in the school life of coronary heart disease, and teaches how to lead a healthy school life with friendly cartoons and plain words.
