Oh snap! We’ve got photo resources to help with your COVID-19 coverage.

It’s the only thing we’re talking about lately. The coronavirus. But if you’re struggling with finding visuals for your coverage, we’ve got you, well, covered.

With school closings, lack of access and social distancing, your staff might have a few obstacles to gathering coronavirus-related images. We’re here to solve that issue!

We’ve gathered photos and illustrations to help you include coronavirus coverage in your yearbook. Whether you just need a single photo for a trends page or full-blown coverage, check out the visuals below to fill your pages.

All of the below images are royalty-free images and may be used for editorial purposes. Feel free to use any of the images, but please respect the guidelines by including photo credits and not altering the artwork. (You do not need to use the caption information provided.) Please note, Shutterstock photos may be used in your yearbook publications, but not in social media campaigns or other capacities. All other images may be used in the yearbook and on social media.

Some of the visuals we purchased for your use, others we created specifically for your coronavirus coverage. Please note, you should click the name of the visual in blue to download the high-resolution version. Do not right click the image in the post, that will only give you a small version of the file. If you have any questions, don’t hesitate to contact us.

If you would prefer to download all the images for your publication’s usage, use this Hightail link to have access to all of the royalty-free coronavirus visuals. We may also add additional images to the Hightail space as advisers share visuals and we acquire more.

If you need additional photos, try searching a Creative Commons search online, the CDC Public Health Image Library or royalty-free photo sites like Pixabay, Shutterstock and Adobe Stock. Pixabay is a free resource, while Shutterstock and Adobe Stock offer annual plans and pricing options for batches of photos.
