Hard-to-Reach Populations Can Access Cell-Ed's Free Coronavirus Guide Using Text and Audio Platform

PALO ALTO, Calif., March 12, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- Millions of people in the U.S. cannot get access to the information they need and many do not even have internet access, smartphones or TVs to stay informed on important current events. Internet access and smartphone usage varies dramatically by age, education, and income.*

As a leading mobile workforce readiness platform for companies, education providers, and international development organizations, Cell-Ed enables and supports learning for adults with literacy, language, and digital access gaps. Many of these same adults are not getting the information they need to be protected from the coronavirus. 

"At Cell-Ed, we believe that we all should have the information needed to protect ourselves and our communities from coronavirus/COVID-19 so we created this guide for everyone to access for free from any phone," explains Cell-Ed's CEO and founder Dr. Jessica Rothenberg-Aalami, Ph.D.

Cell-Ed's Coronavirus Guide is filled with practical advice from top experts like the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and the World Health Organization (WHO) in English and Spanish on how to best protect ourselves, our loved ones, co-workers, and communities from these types of viruses. 

Here is how it works: 

Simply call Cell-Ed on any cell phone and through text and audio messaging, callers can listen to and read Cell-Ed's interactive guide filled with helpful information broken into easy-to-remember micro-lessons. There is no sign-up required and no cost.
