Consistent protectio: if your children go back to school, they might be exposed to the coronavirus, or any other viruses that typically make their rounds in schools and society. Your best protection is to be vigilant in santizing your home, reinforce handwashing for your children, work hard to get yourself as healthy as possible (lose weight, exercise, sleep, hydration) and Home Quarantine anyone who shows symptoms.
