The return of children to school has become one of the main concerns of Spanish families. The uncertainty about the safety and health of the little ones in the house multiplies doubts both in schools and in homes. What is best for our children? How should we act to guarantee the necessary

Experts from meowessay.com say that going back to school in person is absolutely necessary for our children. The school is the ideal place for the socialization, personal, and academic training of children, as long as all the safety and hygiene measures are met to avoid the spread of COVID-19.

To make schools a safe center, mandatory measures have been carried out. Medical director of the HM Nens pediatric hospital, ​​gave a talk in the nursery that the KH-7 company has for its workers to advise them and answer any questions.

School is going to become a fundamental pivot in children's health and is the best environment to guarantee their normal life. First, because children need to be with other children. But it is also that the school will be a tool that will facilitate early diagnosis. That is, from the schools, symptoms of possible contagion will be identified, which will activate the marked isolation protocols, PCR tests, or confinement if necessary. Finally, it will be of great help as a tracker for the traceability of the virus. It will be much easier to find the source of the infection and possibly affected persons to act accordingly in each case, "the doctor stated emphatically.

Health specialists advocate for small groups in classrooms and a single teacher per group. They agree that the fewer students per class, the better. And that a group of 20 students would be correct, although there is no magic number either. They are also clear that if classes can be taught in an open space, much better than closed. What is essential in all cases in compliance with mandatory regulations. There are action protocols in schools to face this very atypical course. Among other things, the form of access, stable groups, hygiene, social distance, the mask, cleaning, and disinfection in the classrooms are established, ”the doctor informed the attendees.

The three essentials: Cleaning, distance, and mask

To avoid contagion, there are some aspects that must be met in all circumstances. Educators insists that "three habits must be reinforced: hand cleaning, social distance and use of a mask. "The doctor, on the other hand, sets duties for parents to reinforce some habits from home. Parents must teach our children good hygiene and habits to avoid contagion. As in academic education, in this case, our role is also fundamental. We must set an example in the cleaning and disinfection of the home and the entire environment of our children. We must be constant and insist that they carry replacement masks, a cover to store them, use the hydroalcoholic gel if soap cannot be used, and not share towels or toys or electronic devices such as mobile phones or calculators. And, if they are shared, they must be disinfected later," - he adds. And it ends with a new recommendation: at home, you must use the appropriate cleaning and disinfection products, with the necessary frequency, the recommended action time and proper ventilation of the spaces.

Finally, we wanted to be realistic about the situation we are experiencing after the onset of the pandemic. COVID forces us to live a different reality. We have to learn to live with the virus. Children have adapted better to this situation than adults. They are sponges and they have understood this new reality very well. They acquire new habits naturally. What they don't understand is not being with other children. We all have to make efforts and find the least bad solution, but all the measures taken are better than not going to school, "he said.
