BETWEEN THIS
PANDEMIC BEING AN
INTERNATIONAL CRISIS
AND A GLOBAL
CATASTROPHE.
IN VIETNAM, THEY ARE
USING MUSIC TO
EDUCATE NOT JUST
WHY HAND WASHING IS
SO IMPORTANT--
BUT ALSO THE RIGHT
WAY TO DO IT.
AS KRISTIE LU STOUT
REPORTS, THE WORLD
IS NOT ONLY
LISTENING--
BUT LOVING IT.
THE HUMBLE "PUBLIC
SERVICE
ANNOUNCEMENT" -- A
VITAL TOOL USED BY
GOVERNMENTS TO
SHARE INFORMATION
LIKE HOW TO WEAR A
MASK -- WASH YOUR
HANDS -- OR NOT
HOARD SUPPLIES. BUT
ONE SPOT IS GETTING
MORE ATTENTION THAN
OTHERS. THIS P-S-A BY
VIETNAM'S HEALTH
MINISTRY ON THE VIRUS
HAS GONE... WELL
VIRAL. RACKING UP
MILLIONS OF VIEWS ON
YOUTUBE WITH A
CATCHY HOOK AND
STRONG PUBLIC
HYGIENE MESSAGE. BUT
VIETNAMESE DANCER
QUANG DANG HAS
TAKEN IT TO THE NEXT
LEVEL. HIS
CHOREOGRAPHY HAS
CARRIED THE SONG TO
TENS OF MILLIONS OF
ADDITIONAL VIEWS ON
MILLIONS OF VIEWS ON
YOUTUBE WITH A
CATCHY HOOK AND
STRONG PUBLIC
HYGIENE MESSAGE. BUT
VIETNAMESE DANCER
QUANG DANG HAS
TAKEN IT TO THE NEXT
LEVEL. HIS
CHOREOGRAPHY HAS
CARRIED THE SONG TO
TENS OF MILLIONS OF
ADDITIONAL VIEWS ON
THE VIDEO APP, TIK-
TOK. -- GETTING A
BOOST FROM A PUBLIC
SHOUT-OUT BY
COMEDIAN JOHN
OLIVER.
KRISTIE LU STOUT, HONG
KONG: "IT'S MORE THAN JUST A
DANCE. YOU ACTUALLY GO
THROUGH MULTIPLE MOVES ON
HOW TO WASH YOUR HANDS."
QUANG DANG, DANCER: "THE
FIRST ONE IS YOU HAVE TO RUB
YOUR HANDS LIKE THIS. RUB
YOUR HANDS VERY EASY, PALM
TO PALM. THE SECOND ONE IS
THE BACK OF THIS HAND TO THE
PALM OF THE OTHER HAND. THE
THIRD ONE IS FINGERS
INTERLACED...FINGERS
INTERLACED."
AND IT'S SPARKED A
GLOBAL TIK-TOK DANCE
CHALLENGE. PEOPLE
THE WORLD OVER ARE
POSTING VIDEOS OF
THEMSELVES DOING
THE DANCE USING THE
HASHTAG
"#VUDIEURUATAY" OR
"HAND WASHING MOVE."
BUT FOR EVERY
POPULAR PUBLIC
HEALTH CAMPAIGN ON
SOCIAL MEDIA -- THERE
IS A TORRENT OF
XENOPHOBIC CONTENT
AND MISLEADING
VIDEOS.
DONG DONG, ASSISTANT
PROFESSOR, CHINESE
UNIVERSITY HONG KONG:
"SINCE WE DON'T HAVE
ENOUGH CREDIBILITY CHECKS
AND WE DON'T HAVE ENOUGH
FACT CHECKS IN THAT KIND OF
SOCIAL MEDIA PLATFORM, SO IT
MAKES PUBLIC HEALTH
PROFESSIONALS CONCERNED
ABOUT THE ACTUAL
EFFECTIVENESS AS WELL AS THE
OUTCOMES OF THESE VIDEOS."
TIK-TOK HAS REMOVED
SOME POSTS. ITS
RULES STATE: "WE DO
NOT PERMIT
MISINFORMATION THAT
COULD CAUSE HARM TO
OUR COMMUNITY OR
THE LARGER PUBLIC."
QUANG DANG FILMED
HIS ORIGINAL HAND
WASHING DANCE VIDEO
OUTSIDE HIS STUDIO --
IN HO CHI MINH'S
CHINATOWN. MAKING IT
ALSO A MESSAGE OF
SOLIDARITY.
QUANG DANG, DANCER: "A
DANCE IS NOT A
MEDICINE...BUT OUR MIND,
OUR EDUCATION, IS WHAT WE
CAN PREVENT THE DISEASE
FROM GOING FURTHER AND
FURTHER."
SPREADING JOY NOT
GERMS.
KRISTIE LU STOUT, HONG
KONG: "I AM NOT A GOOD
LEARN YOUR DANCE?"
QUANG DANG, DANCER:
"SURE, WHY NOT."
KRISTIE LU STOUT, HONG
KONG: "LET'S DO IT."
WITH A GOOD, CLEAN
HAND WASHING
TUTORIAL.
QUANG DANG, DANCER: "A
CNN REPORTER DOING MY
DANCE. I CAN'T BELIEVE IT."
KRISTIE LU STOUT, CNN,
HONG KONG.

DEREK WILL GIVE US A
FINAL CHECK ON
WEATHER... WE'LL BE
