The COVID-19 pandemic showed the detrimental consequences of the lack of understanding of public health measures. Throughout the pandemic, governmental measures such as lockdowns, social distancing, and mask requirements were met with scepticism, doubt and unwillingness to comply.
Yet, it was also an opportunity to observe the correlation between the prevalence of public health education and compliance with public health measures. Hence birthed the creation of a card game as an easy and fun way to educate the public about the effectiveness of public health measures in tackling the pandemic and the importance of global cooperation.
