If not now, at some point, children should be sent to schools, so here are some of the precautions that parents need to take.

Train your children in a way that they should follow social distance, use sanitizer, and should never remove their masks. 

Children should be given a shower immediately after they return home from school and their uniforms should be washed. 

The temperature of the children should be checked frequently. It is important to note the symptoms such as cold and cough. Fruit juices should be given more often.

An extra mask should be given to the children. Handkerchief and sanitizer are must.

Tell your children to wash their hands for at least 2 hours and apply 4 drops of sanitizer. Give instructions to your children to stay away from others.
