Hello brother, bhā'i, ভাই !
VisualAid is a volunteer project to enable better communication between healthcare workers & migrant workers affected by COVID-19. Use the illustrations as a visual aid to help you communicate what you mean, better.

Visual aid tools
We currently have 7 collections of illustrated translations - screening/triage, daily care/needs, mobile rapid triage station, COVID swabs, construction safety, radiology instructions, and surgical mask do's and don'ts. All downloadable for free.
Where to use
Here's where you can use the illustrated visual aids
At screening & triage
Use these visual aids to ask about symptoms, living environment, travel history.
At the wards
Use these visual aids to talk about ongoing symptoms, health markers and daily needs.
At Community Care Facilities like at Expo
Use the illustrations for communicating daily needs and wants, like toiletries, clothes, snacks, games.
At clinics and other workplaces
For any other situation in other workplaces like at construction sites, or healthcare facilities like GP clinics, community recovery facilities, swab isolation facilities, medical posts, purpose-built dorms, mobile FAST teams, etc.
