作为一场全球危机，2019冠状病毒病凸显了在快速发展且往往未经审查的信息生态系统中传播基于证据的公共卫生建议所面临的挑战，而这一生态系统的部分推动因素是社交媒体提供的前所未有的联系程度。在这篇文章中，我们探讨了视觉艺术与公共卫生之间一个未被充分讨论的交叉点，重点是在COVID-19大流行期间使用经过验证的信息图表和其他形式的视觉传播来快速传播准确的公共卫生信息。我们通过自己在为患者创建经过验证的信息图表方面的经验来说明我们的论点，该信息图表现已通过社交媒体和世界各地的其他渠道以近20种翻译形式传播。视觉传播提供了一种创造性和实用的媒介，可以弥合重大的卫生知识普及差距，通过循证信息增强不同患者群体的权能，并在本次大流行和未来的“新常态”期间促进公共卫生宣传。
As a global crisis, COVID-19 has underscored the challenge of disseminating evidence-based public health recommendations amidst a rapidly evolving, often uncensored information ecosystem-one fueled in part by an unprecedented degree of connected afforded through social media. In this piece, we explore an underdiscussed intersection between the visual arts and public health, focusing on the use of validated infographics and other forms of visual communication to rapidly disseminate accurate public health information during the COVID-19 pandemic. We illustrate our arguments through our own experience in creating a validated infographic for patients, now disseminated through social media and other outlets across the world in nearly 20 translations. Visual communication offers a creative and practical medium to bridge critical health literacy gaps, empower diverse patient communities through evidence-based information and facilitate public health advocacy during this pandemic and the 'new normal' that lies ahead.
