Top tips on how to keep your child safe from coronavirus

Today is the time to tell you how to secure baby from infection and in what cases it is necessary to consult a doctor. And also - to answer all the questions that we so often ask ourselves.

Is the virus dangerous for children?

Children represent the least vulnerable group of infection. At the moment, no massive cases have been identified. Therefore, it is not worth arguing about the great danger. However, you don't need to look at everything carelessly either. Forewarned is forearmed.

What if you find your child has symptoms of COVID-19?

First of all, you need to calm your panic. Dry cough and fever are not always signs of a virus. It is likely that this is a common SARS. But in order not to self-medicate, it is better to always consult a doctor.

Should you buy a mask?

A mask is only needed if you have symptoms of infection. In other cases, the mask does not help at all. Here we are talking about the social responsibility of each individual person.

How to avoid infection?

For maximum peace of mind, the Ministry of Health recommends staying at home and not leaving the house unless absolutely necessary. Also, do not neglect your hygiene: wash your hands thoroughly, sneeze only on the elbow, and refuse animal products. See your doctor right away if you have a fever, cough, or if you find it difficult to breathe.
