The current global pandemic crisis is leaving a lot of people with uncertainty about the future. As a parent, your number priority is keeping your family safe from the virus especially kids.

Currently, schools have been closed temporarily and it is most likely that they are re-opened sooner or later. It is expedient you train your kids on some safety precautions to observe during the pandemic.

"Here are some safety tips for your kids during Covid 19"


Teach them the usual safety precautions
Health and Medical professionals all over the world have been encouraging us to observe some precautionary measure to reduce the spread. You probably know them already, but let me help you recall,

1) Avoid touching your face, eyes, nose or mouth
2) Wash your hands regularly with soap and water, or use an alcohol-based hand sanitizer
3) Maintain at least a distance of 1.5 meters between you and other people
4) Use an approved face mask if at all you need to go outside
5) Do not touch staircase railings, door handles and transportation handles.
6) Do not touch anything that can be potentially touched by thousands of people; if at all you need to touch them, use a clean paper tissue and dispose of immediately.

Avoid Public Transportation
For kids, I strongly recommend that you avoid boarding public transport. Get them a Taxi or ask people you know to give them a lift. If they need to use public transport, ensure they practice every precautionary safety measure.

Encourage them to always speak up
We know kids can at times want to keep things to themselves especially when they have an injury from playing. Make your kids comfortable and encourage them to speak up if they notice any slight change in their body.

Let them have safe fun
This is important for their mental development. Allow your kids to have some fun, encourage them to play some online games, chat with their friends and also have quality family time with them. Your kid's mental health is as important as their physical health

Buy safety protective equipment for them
Kids can also use a face mask and hand gloves. Some approved face masks are uniquely designed for kids. A KN95 face mask is uniquely designed to filter out pollutants and other microorganism and would allow your kids to breathe well through them. You can purchase a KN95 facemask for them.


Remember your family safety is your number one priority during Covid 19 pandemic. Keep them safe
