YOUR HOME IS YOUR LIFELINE
The COVID-19 pandemic has brought many changes to how you live your life, altered daily routines, financial pressures and social isolation. You may worry about getting sick, how long the pandemic will last and what the future will bring.
Information overload, remorse and misinformation can make you feel lost and indecisive. During the COVID-19 pandemic, you may experience stress, anxiety, fear, sadness and loneliness and mental health disorders, including anxiety and depression, can worsen. Moderate levels of stress and anxiety is normal during these times, as this will force us all to take all precautionary measures required, like sanitization and washing of hands. The coronavirus has changed how we work, play and learn.
How are you dealing with these sudden and dramatic changes in life? Are you practising social distancing — and are you even sure what that really means? We at Sanskar World School makes sure that our students are guided properly to cope up with this difficult time, so it becomes a vital task for school authorities, teachers, and parents to ensure safety in the best possible way.
Here are some tips which will help students in coping with the current situation.
Wash your hands often
- Wash your hands often with soap and water for at least 20 seconds especially after you have been in a public place, or after blowing your nose, coughing, or sneezing.
Avoid close contact
- Inside your home: Avoid close contact with people who are sick.
- If possible, maintain 6 feet between the person who is sick and other household members.
- Outside your home: Put 6 feet of distance between yourself and people who don’t live in your household.
Cover your mouth and nose with a mask when around others:
- You could spread COVID-19 to others even if you do not feel sick.
- The mask is meant to protect other people in case you are infected.
- Everyone should wear a mask in public settings and when around people who don’t live in your household, especially when other social distancing measures are difficult to maintain.
Clean and disinfect
- Clean & disinfect frequently touched surfaces daily. This includes tables, doorknobs, light switches, countertops, handles, desks, phones, keyboards, toilets, faucets, and sinks.
Monitor Your Health Daily:
- Be alert for symptoms. Watch for fever, cough, shortness of breath, or other symptoms of COVID-19.
- Especially important if you are running essential errands, going to the office or workplace, and in settings where it may be difficult to keep a physical distance of 6 feet.
- Most important of all, take care of each other: As we continue with our planning process – preparing to welcome our students back to school, we will keep you updated. We would like to thank everyone for continuous support.
It is in our hands where we can still save or destroy the environment. In the hope of a better future, the school works with its students and faculties to continue saving the environment and spreading awareness for the same.
After all, it has been aptly said that –
“Plans to protect air, water, wilderness and wildlife are in fact plans to protect man”.
