A video message service has been launched for migrant families offering back-to-school public health advice in some 30 languages including Swahili, Polish, Romanian, Yoruba and Cantonese.

The Covid-19 World Service initiative is a collaboration between the Together Ireland Community Integration project and Nasc, the migrant and refugee centre, who have produced about 130 approved public health video messages for migrants since the peak of lockdown in May.
