MSF challenges COVID-19 myths with new quiz challenge app
The new COVID-19 quiz app encourages people to behave safely if someone in their family or community catches COVID-19. The concept for the app came from a quiz challenge game developed by MSF in 2019 during the Ebola outbreak in Democratic Republic of Congo to help patients and their families manage Ebola and to counter misinformation about the disease. This app available in English, French, Arabic and Spanish, and there are plans to introduce additional languages. It will be used by families and communities across the 70-plus countries worldwide where MSF works – and beyond. The app is available for both Android and IOS systems and is free to use; once downloaded it can be played offline, making it accessible to people with no regular internet connection.
