The coronavirus pandemic and the spread of the COVID-19 disease have changed the world forever. Every person has been impacted by it, and children are not different. As children are curious by nature, it is the responsibility of parents or other adults to ensure that children know the essentials of the coronavirus pandemic, no matter what their age is. Here’s more on what every child needs to know about the coronavirus pandemic.
- Always wear a mask
Children should always be informed that mask is for their protection. They should understand that masks will help prevent the COVID-19 disease, so they must wear them all the time, even when playing.
- Wash hands multiple times a day
It is also essential for children to realize that they need to wash their hands multiple times a day. They need to wash their hands, especially when they go out and come back in. They also need to wash their hands before and after meals. Children should also be taught how to wash their hands thoroughly. The use of sanitizers should also be encouraged.
- Practice social distancing
Children should also be taught how to practice social distancing and avoid playing with their friends for a while. They should know that if they play for even half an hour with another kid, they might put themselves and the other person at risk. If they want to play games, online games should be encouraged.
