Several countries are facing the challenge of providing a safe environment for the return to classroom-based learning in schools during the COVID-19 pandemic
This is especially important in countries with low vaccination rates and the widespread impact of new strains. To help ensure adequate classroom safety, The Global Health Network COVID-19 Research Implementation and Knowledge Hub’s Lusophone Working Group developed COVID-19 School Safety Communications Kit in Portuguese. The communications kit includes materials that can help school managers plan and communicate the most up-to-date strategies related to COVID-19 transmission prevention. These are based on the Joaquim Venâncio Polytechnic School of Health/Oswaldo Cruz Foundation in Brazil guidelines on biosafety regarding the return of classes.
The material in the communications kit are:
- Free to download
- Available in higher resolution format for printing purposes
- Available in lower resolution format for easier and faster downloads
- Adapted for school staff, families and children
The communication kits have been designed following a colour scheme for each target group:
School staff |
Families |
Children |
Can you help share the communications kit?We encourage users to share the communications kit and posters on social media. |

About The Global Health Network’s COVID-19 Lusophone Working Group
Implementing research studies during this pandemic can be made faster and easier by working collaboratively.
Following feedback from our research workshops and requests from researchers around the world, the COVID-19 Research Implementation and Knowledge Hub set up open virtual working groups to support research study implementation during this pandemic.
The Global Health Network's working groups aims to discuss and reach consensus on emerging research gaps in COVID-19, focusing on resource-poor settings. This working group was formed to find ways to strengthen research and response to COVID-19 carried out in Portuguese-speaking countries.
Researchers from Cape Verde, Brazil and Mozambique who work or wish to work in health systems came together in this group to discuss ideas, form collaborations, access funding, as well as share results and resources that others can use.
