PROTECT CHILDREN FROM THE VIRUS IN OUTDOOR AREAS TOO

As the weather warms, especially in outdoor areas such as children’s Parks, site gardens, there is an intensity. Here is a specialist in Child Health and diseases, doctor suggestions to families…

Covid-19, which has been in our lives for more than a year, affects adults in the first periods, while children are only at risk of infecting the virus. But with the mutation of the virus, the disease also began to appear frequently in children.

Therefore, families should be cautious in indoor areas as well as outdoor areas, said a specialist in Child Health and diseases. Here are recommendations as follows:

.
WHAT SHOULD BE CONSIDERED?

Try not to go with your child, especially in closed and crowded areas. And when you go, wipe the seats or tables in common use with disinfectants before using them. In open areas, pay attention to the following points:

.
MASK

For whatever reason, be sure to wear masks to children when you go out. Ask your children over 2 years of age to wear a mask that is suitable for them, especially in closed areas, for example, at the doctor’s check-up. For children under two years of age, the use of visor may be appropriate. Especially children under 1 year old who are brought to indoor environments with their strollers will be sufficient to be protected with stroller covers. When you get home, always remove the masks from the ropes attached to the ear and throw them into the trash can with the lid closed without touching the outer surface.

.
GARDEN ACTIVITIES

You can play your children in the garden of your home.

There is also no harm in children performing outdoor activities in crowded and public areas such as playgrounds, sites, in accordance with the rules of hand hygiene and physical distance.

.
HAND HYGIENE

If children come into contact with each other, be sure to clean their hands with hand sanitizer at regular intervals. Teaching children the necessary hygiene skills at an early age and being a role model for them will also be an important step to protect our children from diseases and society. For this reason, first tell children about the importance of hand washing and teach them how to wash their hands frequently with soap and water to last at least 20-30 seconds. One easy way to get your children to reach this time can be to make them sing the entire song “Happy Birthday” by repeating it twice along with the chorus.

.
SHOWER

Be sure to clean your face with soap and water with your hands when your child comes home. You can also shower.
