WE'VE
WE'VE SEEN CENTRAL TEXAS STUDENTS GOING BACK TO CLAS FOR IN-PERSON LEARNING. A
LOT OF PARENTS AREN'T JUST
SENDING THEIR KIDS OFF
WITH SCHOOL SUPPLIES IN THEIR
BACKPACKS..
NOW THEY'RE THROWING IN SOME
HAND SANITIZER AND
CLOROX WIPES AS WELL.
TO TALK A LITTLE BIT MORE ABOUT
MAKING SURE YOUR CHILDREN ARE PRACTICING GOOD HABITS,
DR. STACEY ROSE FROM BAYLOR
COLLEGE OF
MEDICINE JOINS US THIS MIDDAY.
HI DR. ROSE!
ALRIGHT
ALRIGHT DR. ROSE, A LOT OF PARENTS IN OUR AREA ARE TRYING TO NAVIGATE THIS RIGHT
NOW.. FULL OF A LOT
OF UNCERTAINTY.
WHY IS EDUCATING AND HAVING
DAILY CONVERSATIONS
WITH YOUR KIDS EVEN BETTER THAN
SENDING THEM WITH
HAND SANITIZER?
THEY SHOULD BE REMINDED ABOUT
IMMEDIATELY
WASHING HANDS WHEN:
THEY TOUCH THEIR MASK OR FACE
THEY HAVE THE SNIFFLES AND USE A
TISSUE
DISCARDED IMMEDIATELY
THEY VISIT THE BATHROOM
THEY ARE ABOUT TO EAT AND ONCE
THEY FINISH EATING
WHEN CHILDREN RETURN HOME FOR
THE DAY, THE FIRST THING
THEY SHOULD DO IS WASH THEIR
HANDS. IF A CHILD SAYS
THEY CAME IN CLOSE CONTACT WITH
SOMEONE WHO SNEEZED
OR COUGHED, THEY SHOULD CHANGE
CLOTHES AND
TAKE A SHOWER, ESPECIALLY IF
THEY LIVE WITH SOMEONE WHO
IS IMMUNOCOMPRO MISED. "THERE
ISN'T A STUDY THAT SAYS CHANGING
CLOTHES AND
SHOWERING WILL HELP PREVENT THE
SPREAD TO
IMMUNOCOMPROMISED INDIVIDUALS,
BUT THERE IS
NOTHING WRONG WITH TAKING EXTRA
MEASURES,"
ROSE SAID.
REUSABLE MASKS SHOULD BE WASHED
AFTER EACH DAY
OF USE SINCE THEY ARE ABSORBING
SECRETIONS
FROM THE CHILD. IF A CHILD HAS
CHANGED THEIR MASK FOR
A NEW ONE IN THE MIDDLE OF THE
SCHOOL DAY, BE SURE TO
WASH BOTH MASKS WHEN THEY RETURN
FROM SCHOOL.
FROM SCHOOL.
