Summary

This study tests whether a virtual reality (VR) game can help primary schoolchildren aged 6-12 learn and practice better hygiene to prevent COVID-19 and other respiratory infections.

Researchers will check if the game improves handwashing, reduces bacteria on hands, and lowers infection rates.
