1. What do you think about the health education of COVID-19 ? 

Health education regarding COVID-19 are simple. These are, Personal preventive measures. Such as: 

1. Hand-washing
2. When visiting a hospital, visitor rules may require a person to put on a mask.
3. Monitor body temperature daily
4. Maintain Social Distancing.



2. Do you think that Health education is a powerful weapon to tackle the spread of infectious disease? 

     Minimizing the transmission of infectious diseases is a core function of public health law. The appropriate exercise of legal powers will vary according to the seriousness of the disease, the means of transmission, and how easily the disease is transmitted.

     Some diseases are entirely preventable by vaccination (e.g. measles and polio), or by access to improved sanitation and clean drinking water (e.g. diarrhoeal and parasitic diseases). Others are treatable when detected in a timely manner (e.g. tuberculosis and malaria). The epidemic of HIV can be substantially reduced through laws supporting access to treatment, combined with measures to educate and support individuals and communities to implement proven strategies for preventing transmission

We know the contents of health education are:

1.Personal hygiene
2.Proper health habits
3.Nutrition education
4.Personal preventive measures
5.Safety rules
6.Proper use of health services
7.Mental health
8.Sex education
Special education (occupation, mothers …..etc)

So from above discussion we can state that health education is a powerful weapon to tackle the spread of infectious diseases.
