Covid-19 Awareness Week: April 3-7 2023
 
The Covid-19 Awareness Week is meant to  wake up the general population that Covid is not over, and still highly prevalent and Not mild.

The Website with info, and editable letters is covidawareness.org

The main objective of the Covid-19 Awareness Week is to educate people about the lasting health impacts of a Covid-19 infection, that can even result from what feels like a “mild” one.

Social Media Blitz:
 
All hands on deck for this wave of information, which will include the mass, and repetitive sharing of pertinent, generally accessible articles, studies, posts, videos and any other relevant information related to Covid-19 and its lasting effect on health.

This information blitz will take place on every social media platform, and through traditional media advertising, as well as through emails, and word of mouth.

Prior to April 3rd, a website will be available with links to videos, articles and ongoing Crowdfunding campaign. We will provide links to templated letters for individuals to send to their political representatives.

All who wish to take part in this blitz will post, and repost, share, tweet and retweet the various information links constantly over the course of the week, to as many different contacts, and groups as possible.

During the Blitz, the following hashtags should be used for each post, as well as any other the person posting would like to add. #CovidAwarenessWeek #BringBackMasks #NotMild  #LongCovid  #CovidIsntOver

Send the info to friends, family, and everyone else on the planet, because the most important aspects of participation in the blitz are consistency and tenacity.

10 posts are great, 50 are better. 5 emails are wonderful, but 45 are better. As one of our organizers put it, “this is the D-Day of Covid-19 information, but it’s going to last all week.”

Media Contact:
Advocates are asked to contact media in their home region with the hope that media will cover the story before, during, or after the week of awareness.

Since this is the first Covid-19 Awareness week, we are attempting to spread the word far and wide and the help of the media is invaluable. We will provide a press release template that can be  modified and used to email to your various media outlets.

Contact journalists directly by phone, email, or social media messaging.
 
If  the reporters wish to connect with one of the Covid-19 Awareness Week organizers they can arrange this by emailing [e-mail]

Government Contact:
We are providing a template letter  to share with the public.
We recommend making it simple by providing emails and addresses for members of the public to send the letters on to relevant representatives at every level of government in their region.

If you are interested in taking an active role in this Awareness Week please DM or simply have questions, please email us at [e-mail], or just join in.

Don’t hesitate to reach out and share this with other Covid aware and safety minded groups who may want to participate in the Covid-19 Awareness Week: April 3-7, 2023.

Thank you for all you are already doing. Together, we can create a Covid Aware movement.
