I learned a lot about public health. My favorite part was the crossword puzzle. I didn't know you could become addicted to video games.

I enjoyed it because it talks about how to be careful & have good hygiene, as well as the importance of wearing a mask and keeping our distance. It also mentioned how it's important to not play games for longer than 2 hours and that we must be in control, not the games.
