There
was a fad of some engineering person creating an antiseptic spraying entrance
to the malls. This became viral and every one started creating and selling
these dangerous tunnels. These do nothing to the virus but cause harm to the
humans. WHO had to pass an order to tell people to stop such harmful inventions.
A lot of money was wasted. Remember that money was a part of our nation's
scanty resources.
These
days there is a fad of sanitizing classrooms and school surroundings before the
starting of schools. There are vendors assuring the management that this
sanitization will last 90 days. First of all, there is no virus in the school
arena which have been closed for months. We will only cause harm to the
children who will inhale this harmful chemical for 90 days ,if at all it lasts
that much time. It is very clear today that you don't get virus from floors and
surfaces like school benches. The major route of virus coming to you is by close
contacts with people.
The best
bet for schools is to keep distance with people, sanitise hands before entering
the school ,check temperature before entry to school, wear good clean masks properly. avoid crowding in
the schools and following all such precautions which bring them close to each
other. The school management should see that the classrooms are kept clean and
hygienic at the end of the day and well ventilated. Toilets should be
maintained properly. The children well informed about the spread of the virus
and how to protect themselves from contacting it. It is possible to keep the
schools away from becoming covid 19 hotspots with genuine scientific, healthy
and safe practices. All schools should follow a large number of guidelines given by the
education department including flexible attendance nonstigmatisation of the
students and many others. Management has to give special attention to some
teachers who are not well coherent with the practices and may instil a false
sense of fear in these children
Training to the teachers in handling such delicate situations is a basic
requirement. A well informed sensible and stable teacher is the biggest
source of safely and care of these
blooming buds.
There is
no need to become paranoid and do wasteful and harmful activities. India has
much fewer resources. Let us use them judiciously and safely. There are no free
meals. Somebody has to spend the money. Let us not convince such good hearted
philanthropists to waste their resources with wasteful and harmful activities.
Please spread this message if you
care for our country in such difficult times.
