by investigating the pandemic that occurred at the school nursery and in the family That happened in January last year in South Korea.

Transmitted infections occur both in day care settings and in child care settings. taekwondo school language and mathematics schools, and others, including within the family

The infection rate is transmitted from one infected person to the next as high as 30-50% (secondary attack rate).

The results of this study highlight the importance that parents, guardians and teachers should educate, practice skills and remind our children to protect themselves during school. In addition, schools should take care of hygiene, washing hands, adjusting activities during school to be safer than in the past. Including adjusting the environment in the school to have good ventilation. And keep an eye on the children. If anyone is sick, has a fever, cough, runny nose, sore throat, they should be separated from other children. Go heal yourself first.

Emphasize loudly that each infection can cause illness and death, and is at risk of long-term abnormalities such as Long COVID.

Do not be fooled by superstition to live a leisurely life.

…a type of discourse “Not afraid of COVID, but afraid of starvation” leads to neglectful behavior. And recurring infections, sickness, death, or long-term effects like Long COVID, which eventually come back to hurt the discourse owner, family and other people in society.

Including the burden of health costs that the country has to bear when sick, which is considered a risk sharing that is unfair to many people in a self-care society.

Afraid to starve to death, should work hard diligent to make a living by caring for their own health Protect the example as a routine, not carelessly.

To be healthy, not stuck, not sick

not afraid to starve to death But the sidebars repeatedly scratched with carelessness and made an impact on society. Claiming incorrect logic

Work, study, travel…with carelessness Always take precautions and protect yourself. will reduce the risk accordingly

protect yourself from infection or not repeating is the best

Wearing a mask correctly and consistently…is very important.
