Abstract:
The pandemic situation of covid-19 in the Czech Republic is one of the worst in the world at the turn of 2020-2021. Primary prevention of coronavirus infection is therefore becoming a very topical issue, especially in the context of primary school education. While information campaigns through the mass media (news, television spots, radio broadcasts, billboards, information leaflets, newspapers, etc.) are mainly used for preventive action in the adult population, children are a specific target group with regard to their needs. To increase efficiency are used, for example, fairy tales, comics, coloring books, the effects of popular influencers on new social media, songs, video clips, game activities, etc. The aim of the paper is to analyze available models of education how to observe specific hygiene, how to use a respirator correctly, how to manage separation from family members, friends and teachers, how to manage distance learning, how to prevent stress in a new situation and how to spend free time etc.).
