Official English version of “Ghen Co Vy” released
Hanoi (VNA) - The official English version
of the catchy hand-washing song “Ghen Co Vy” was released on April 9 to encourage
people to adopt personal preventive habits amid the global COVID-19 pandemic, the
Ministry of Health (MoH) has announced.
The song is part of a creative health communications
project #EndCoV by the MoH’s National Institute of Occupational and Environmental
Health (NIOEH) in collaboration with musician Khac Hung, singers Min and Erik, dancer
Quang Dang, and Goodwill Ambassador Chau Bui.
Supported by the UN Development Programme (UNDP), the project
has already been promoting the Vietnamese version of “Ghen Co Vy” and a hand-washing
dance challenge at #ghencovychallenge and #vudieuruatay.
The English version, also featuring sign language, is
available on MoH’s official website and on YouTube.
With a spirit of “prevention is better than cure”, the
project aims to join hands with the community in building personal preventive habits
and motivate the country’s frontline fighters - doctors, epidemiologists, healthcare
workers, and millions of others who expose themselves daily to the coronavirus.
The Vietnamese version of “Ghen Co Vy” was released in
February to explain to people how to wash their hands properly and to take other
measures to avoid becoming infected.
It has gone viral on YouTube and Tik Tok and was even
featured on HBO’s Last Week Tonight with John Oliver in the US./.
