Amazing course which covers the details about this pandemic (excluding financial aspects) in brief. It was very engaging, the the diagnostic techniques were also explained in crisp details.

The Osmosis method of teaching has proved highly beneficial in my study of medicine. I recommend this course to anyone looking for a clear understanding of the pandemic and treatment modalities.

The course was informative with the resources and information that was available at the time the course was completed. Since our knowledge of the virus is very fluid, a few things are not up to date.

Good overall information. Some aspects more suited to healthcare professionals than the average person taking the course. Doesn't hurt to know these things though. Quick and easy to complete.

Warning -- An excellent course however I was given the understanding that this course offered a free certificate. Now Coursera want me to pay for it. I'm happy to update my review when the free certificate comes through.
I was not able to receive an email of my certificate despite having completed the course.
I did this course it’s very good full of all information about COVID-19.But they don’t offer me certificates they want to charge me $49 for certificate..can any one help me how to get my certificate for free .
I did almost ten courses online on COVID-19 since last one week. But the course "COVID-19: What you Need to Know" is one of the best one in term of course content, its structure, organisation, video and quiz. In summary, I can protect my family members and my friends from the COVID-19. Also, course motivated me to implement some strategies in my organisation about prevention of COVID-19.
Thanks

great course but without certification..
Amazing Course..!! A very detailed information about COVID-19.
CT, PCR and RT-PCR tests and science behind these tests explained in detail.
Thanks to the entire team for this wonderful course.
Do have a look at the syllabus.
The content is highly informative, yet concise and easy to understand and grasp.
I learned what the virus is, how it is detected, how it presents itself in imaging, how the RT-PCR test works, the correct way to put on a N95 mask. It did not waste time on the basics such as how to wash hands yet touched upon self quarantine rules and how to be prepared with plenty of fluids. It explained sensitivity and specificity beautifully and tackled how we need to stop the spread on an individual level as well.
Very useful, highly recommend.
Covid-19, this was very informational. From how it started, How it got transmitted. Reasearch that was placed after finding Covid-19 to Prevention of COVID-19. Giving lessons on how and what steps to take if any symptoms were to occcur. This course helped me to better understand this virus. Working as a Personal Care Aid/ Direct Service Provider, This course informed me more.

I like enjoyed the flow of this course! The videos explain just the right amount of information that I need to know to get a general understanding of the topic, and the quizzes helped with recall.
it was a course filled with deep knowledge about the virus covid 19 and making us understand on how the virus starts and ends along with the safety precautions one should take
This is a wonderful course and provide all the information required for a common man and health care professional about Covid-19 management, testing and treatment. I believe this should be translated into many languages and made available to public on social media platforms such as facebook whatsapp etc.,
Even though I'm not a health expert, this course has exposure me to basics I need to know as COVID-19. I all recommend this course to every healthcare provider.
This course provided useful basic information about COVID-19 that I can use myself as well as share with my patient's to help flatten the curve.
I really like the course for some reasons. First of all, the content is displayed in an understandable, attractive and informative way. Secondly, the information is very useful to equip myself better awareness of COVID-19 and the practices to avoid it, protect myself and the community.
The course give the insights of the disease in the overview then into the details -- In a beautiful, Osmosis-style visualization for each topics. The content is quite up-to-date and on point with easy-to-digest medical information. The course difficulty is minimal and compatible with healthcare learners, and science students alike.
This was an amazing concise course that provided me with the knowledge I needed to be aware of our current pandemic and help me in order to help others in this crisis. I want to be educated and go out and do my duty as an American and help out fellow citizens if the need arises in my current area.
Thank You!
