Last year, Toby and Siouxsie created a symptoms chart so people could recognise the signs that indicate a possible Covid-19 infection and know when to get tested. Then, our knowledge of the Covid-19 virus was evolving constantly, and it continues to evolve as new variants emerge.

With the support of The Spinoff’s sister creative studio Daylight  Toby and Siouxsie created and animated a new chart focused on the symptoms of the UK variant, and translate it into six languages commonly spoken in South Auckland, where the outbreak is centred. We’re releasing the charts, both animated and static versions, in English, Māori, Sāmoan, Mandarin, Hindi, Tongan and Punjabi, and we’ve made them Creative Commons – free to reproduce and share across social media, print, or place in emails and on websites.
