Nickelodeon And Disney Channel Address Kids’ Coronavirus Qs

The spread of COVID-19, known as the novel coronavirus, is scary for all of us, and can be particularly challenging to explain to kids. Children across the country have had their routines disrupted with school closures and loss of access to parks, malls and other public spaces thanks to nationwide shutdowns. 

Now, Nickelodeon will give kids the floor to ask all their questions about coronavirus, in a town hall event that will air this Monday, March 30 on the channel.
