On this occasion, Dr. Azizullah said that corona virus was a major disease but now the public is very much aware of this disease, corona virus is more affected and those whose immune system was weak or more affected.

Dr. Asma Naseem said that very mild (mild) symptoms of corona virus have been manifested in children which is a good thing, people have the misconception that they consider corona virus as a type of influenza, corona virus and influenza virus. I am very different. The influenza virus spreads very fast in children, while the corona virus has little effect on children.
Dr. Shubha Lakshmi said that parents should teach their children the right way to keep their hands clean while going to school, implement all the hygiene measures and train the children in different ways in this regard. Caution is very important. Be sure to educate children about precautions. Children have a habit of sharing things with each other at school. At present, children should be prevented from doing so. Children's social skills are declining. It is now necessary to open schools to increase.
Dr. Bushra Jamil said that the role of parents is very important at this time, parents should teach their children how to maintain social distance, take care of hygiene, wash hands and use masks.
