After long 17 months of closure, schools and colleges have been opened for the students. Students are back to school and attending classes in a happy mood. After so long, the schools have got back to life. However, we must not forget that coronavirus is not gone, so extra cautions and steps must be taken to keep the tiny tots and little children safe and healthy. School authorities must ensure the following things.

First, the teachers and the parents must ensure that children going to the schools are putting on masks. No matter how powerful the virus is, it is not stronger than a mask! This is the best way to protect yourself. A three-layer mask can stop this deadly virus from entering your body. Experts and doctors all over the world are putting emphasis on wearing mask whenever you go out. This is the only way to save the kids as this virus spreads through droplets, which can be obstructed with the help of a mask.

Second, this one is for the parents. Give a sanitizer to your kids. Along with a mask, school-going children must have a sanitizer along with you whenever you go out. People usually touch a lots of things when they go out. And it’s very risky as you can get contaminated from any of those surfaces. That’s why it’s very important that the studentscarry a sanitizer along with them and use it after regular intervals. Using it will keep you safe from virus.

Moreover, as a parent you must teach your children not to touch three organs – nose, mouth and eyes as these are the entry point of deadly coronavirus. So, stop touching these organs all too frequently. Only then you can decrease the risk of contamination. Unless you touch these organs, coronavirus can never infect you. Grow healthy habits and stop touching these parts of the body.

The teachers and the parents alike must focus on developing healthy habits among the children. They are very tender, so it will not be always possible for them to follow all the health guidelines. That’s why it is important that you teach the students the ways to keep the virus at bay and the importance of following the health safety rules.

We must remember that learning is important. At the same time, we have to keep the students safe so that they don’t get infected. To that end, school authorities must make arrangements to ensure that there are enough facilities for handwashing on the premises.
