Nova Knight is 5, and very serious about keeping others safe during the coronavirus outbreak. The Fairbanks, Alaska, resident's video to her peers has drawn praise from Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau.
Nova told her mom that she wanted to make the video after her aunt, Jennifer Trevors in Halifax, Nova Scotia, sent her a video of Trudeau thanking children in Canada for not going on their play dates and for doing their part in stopping the spread of the virus.“And then she actually asked me, ‘Will you put me on Facebook Live? I have something I want to say,’” her mother said. “I was like, well, you’re not wearing pants so I’m not going to put you on Facebook Live but I will tape a video.
Rebecca Knight sent the video to her mother, Cindy Trevors of Miramichi, New Brunswick, Canada. The next day, her mother told her she included the video as a comment on Justin Trudeau’s March 27 tweet urging people to stay home. Trevors wrote, “My 5 year old granddaughter made this video after being inspired by your talk about the virus to children.”
Trudeau responded: “What a great reminder! Thanks for sharing this video, Cindy -- please let your granddaughter know I’m glad she’s helping to spread the word. I hope everyone listens to her advice and remembers to wash their hands and stay home. Because she’s right -- that’s how we’ll all stay safe.”“This is the best day of my life,’” she told her mother.The response prompted Nova to do two more videos.
