For speakers with limited English ability, it’s important to provide translated resources for COVID-19 in the native language spoken by the people you support. This virus is no joke. We’re in the middle of a pandemic. The best way to combat fear is to communicate, communicate, communicate. With that said, there is still a lot of misinformation going around. So what can you do to make sure everyone in the community gets the message?
Fortunately, there are a few existing translated resources for COVID-19 out there that you can share in some of the primary languages spoken in the United States. Languages such the following:
- Amharic
- Arabic
- Chinese – Simplified
- Chinese – Traditional
- Farsi
- Japanese
- Khmer
- Russian
- Spanish
- Ukrainian
- Vietnamese
