Novel Coronavirus

Preventing Novel Coronavirus Infection

We created two new episodes to the famous anthropomorphic manga, Cells at Work!, “Novel Coronavirus” and “Preventing Novel Coronavirus Infection” with KODANSHA. These two episodes were created to show appreciation for the front-line medical workers fighting against the virus, to spread the understanding of the novel coronavirus world-wide, and to raise awareness on the prevention of infection.
