9 Tips to keep your kids safe from coronavirus

1. Teach them the correct method of washing and sanitizing hands. Tell them when and how often to wash/sanitize.

2. Tell them not to touch their face. Look for ways to make learning fun for the kids.

3. Limiting contact with other children would be difficult, yet crucial. Help them to video chat with their friends.

4. If others in your home are at particularly high risk from COVID-19, consider extra precautions to separate your child from those people.

5. This is the best time to teach them what foods would make their immunity stronger and start their diet accordingly.

6. Keep children away from the frightening news and images they may see​ on TV, social media, computers, etc.

7. If you see any sign of illness consistent with symptoms of COVID-19, particularly fever, cough, or shortness of breath, call your doctor and keep your child at home and away from others as much as possible.

8. Be a good role model. If you wash your hands often and wear mask, they’re more likely to do the same.

9. Help your child stay active at home so that they don’t get depressed or stressed.
