Safe From COVID Dance

Christian and Christine are DePaul University nursing students and interns with Words on Wheels. In this video they perform their “Safe From Covid Dance” to demonstrate hand washing and hygiene for kids. This was part of the viral TikTok dance about washing your hands--the song dubbed “Ghen Co Vy” (Vietnamese for coronavirus) — urges the public to “push the coronavirus away” by refraining from “rubbing one’s nose, mouth and eyes, limiting visits to public places" or to wash one’s hands thoroughly.
