The video, shared on KCDC’s social media channels, shows how anyone can be a hero who protects one’s family by washing one’s hands with soap, and coughing or sneezing into one’s sleeve instead of hands.

KCDC plans to distribute posters that encourage hygienic habits to preschools.

“We will continue to hold disease prevention campaigns in creative ways,” said Jung Eun-kyung, director of the KCDC.
