By Samitivej Hospitals| HEALTH CORNERWearing a mask and face shield in schoolWearing a face mask—whether it is a cloth mask or surgicalmask—is considered the most effective form of prevention.Wearing a face shield on its own does not offer the samelevel of protection because the opening at the bottomprovides a gap through which germs can escape or enter.Thus, if only one of these can be worn, a cloth or surgicalmask is the safest option. However, if both are available theyshould be worn together in order to provide the most effectiveprotection possible.How can schools protect their students?Schools are considered public spaces, so they should implementmeasures aimed at keeping their students as safe aspossible:• Maintain a suitable distance when lining students up,whether it be for the national anthem or to enter classrooms.• Place markers on the floor where lines are formed, includingthe lunch area, stationery store, and café, to ensuresocial distancing is maintained.• Implement regular hand washing and disinfecting.• Ensure students and teachers wear masks at all times.• Organise classroom tables and chairs to maintain adistance of at least 1-2 meters between students. Avoidputting tables together for group work and ensure childrenare not facing closely to one another.• Schools may need to set up special public health boards tomanage the situation and ensure measures are adhered to.They should consider placing signage throughout the schoolgrounds, and regularly communicating safety measures toparents, guardians and children.• For children in kindergarten, teachers should be taking themto wash their hands before and after eating, as well as afterclassroom activities. There will need to be a particular focuson ensuring these children wear their masks at all times.Continued from page 31with their children.

Going out will also help them get into thehabit of wearing a mask and frequently washing their hands.• Some schools offer online tutoring or home schooling,which requires parents to be available and assist theirchildren.The new normal will require all of us to adjust our behaviorsas the world around us changes, but this can be beneficialin helping our children stay fit, healthy and free from illness.Boost your child’s immunity• The influenza vaccine is recommended for childrenbecause, similarly to COVID-19, influenza is an infection thataffects the lungs and respiratory tract.
