Teach your child that proper handwashing affects not just their health, but also of others. Be a role model and show them how to disinfect their hands to avoid the spread of viruses.

It is important that your entire family stays at home during a pandemic. Children should not be brought to crowded areas to avoid exposure to sick people. Opt for indoor activities to keep them entertained.

Are your child’s immunization records updated for the year? Consult your pediatrician and ask about the appropriate vaccination for your child’s age group.
