How can i ensure my child doesn't contract any germs from her classrooms?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
You cannot!: Germs are a part of life, and exposure to them helps boost the immune system to prevent future and severe illnesses. That being said, frequent handwashing, not sharing cups and utensils, and maintaining general health to support a strong immune system are good for everyone.
