It is time for children to start to return to school, to friends and to learning.

But this new school term, we all have to learn 7 new lessons that will help to prevent COVID-19 and protect each other!

Follow these 7 lessons before, during and after school to help beat COVID-19:

  1. Always keep at least one-meter distance from each other.
  2. Frequently wash your hands with soap and water for at least 20 seconds before and after engaging in any activity.
  3. Cover your nose and mouth with a face mask when outside the classroom.
  1. Sneeze or cough into your bent elbow or use a tissue and ensure that you dispose of the used tissue into a bin with lid immediately and wash your hands with soap.
  2. Keep all surfaces clean and sanitized regularly.
  3. If you or your child is  experiencing fever, sore throat, cough or shortness of breath, stay at home and consult a doctor.
  1. Do not discriminate against anyone because of the coronavirus. Let's be kind and support each other to stay safe.
