Food: Lunchtime in school is much more than just eating. It is more about running and getting a play break from study periods. Hence it becomes important to be extremely cautious and ensure children wash their hands thoroughly before eating. Sanitising the desk is also essential. Sharing should be discouraged in such times to avoid the risk of infection.

Sanitiser Spray: Desk needs equal sanitation as you spend most of the time there. A good way to keep your desk sanitised is by using a sanitising spray. Spray your desk and books with a sanitiser at regular intervals through the day.

Double up on hygiene: At home, our hygiene practices may have been a little relaxed as the contact with the outside world was minimal. But stepping out, it is essential to pay utmost attention to our hygiene practice. Make sure to wash hands multiple times while in school and keep a sanitiser handy at all times.

Mask is a must: In the new normal, masks are as important as oxygen. Wearing a mask at all times not only protects us from the virus but also ensures we accidentally don't touch our face. It is also important to remember to keep separate masks for commute, and inside the school.

Commute: Try to use the personal vehicle as far as possible to drop children to school and back.
