Viruses are a type of germ.

They’re very tiny,

and when they get inside your body,

they can make you sick.

If you have any of these

signs you should immediately go to a doctor.

Breathe

But how do we protect ourselves from coronavirus?


Don’t be afraid, we just have to follow few simple things like....

Remembering to always wash our hands.

Not just when they are dirty. But....


After using

the bathroom.

Before and

after eating.

After coming home from outside.


Maintaining distance from each other.


We can see our friends but,

not hug them or

shake hands with them.


Our teacher also told us to wear masks.

Yes, it is important, especially when you notice any of the

signs or whenever it

is necessary to step out of the house.


So we can’t go out at all?

What about the puppies we play with everyday?


You can still feed the puppies while wearing masks and

maintaining a safe distance.


Ajji, let us stay

inside our houses and help fight coronavirus !

So, it is time to

make a new list of things we can do indoors !!
