Effective communication is a critical component of managing pandemic outbreaks like COVID-19. This study explores COVID-19 related public knowledge, perceptions, belief in public health recommendations, intent to comply with public health recommendations, trust in information sources and preferred information sources. Participants are invited to include detailed free-text answers to make sure their COVID-19 experiences are heard.
The survey is available online in 23 languages. Free-text responses in native languages are
highly encouraged. A robust global response will not only provide invaluable information to
inform clinicians, healthcare institutions and governments about how to optimize the content
and venue of COVID-19 messaging, but will help write a Story of COVID in the words and
languages of people from all over the world.
