dc.description.abstractAbstract: Health literacy entails the knowledge, motivation, and competencies to access, understand, appraise, and apply information to form judgement and make decisions concerning health care, disease prevention and health promotion in everyday life to maintain and promote quality of life during the life course, often with support of health providers. Amidst the pandemic, we needed to find new ways of keeping ourselves fit, changing the way we interacted with others in order not to get infected, keeping focus on hygiene and physical distances, following the new research that was shared about the virus and the disease, and yet, being aware of fake news and silo-thinking. At times, it has been tiresome and lonely to be part of the disruptive new ways of living; yet also a reminder about what really matters, namely the good life with work, family and friends. Even before the pandemic, there were threats to the good life. The burden of non-communicable diseases was growing, the adherence to health education was lacking; and new digital habits hampered physical activity, particularly among children and adolescents.
