Now our kids will be doing the same as they head back to school. They will be adapting to some significant changes as schools boost their health and safety protocols to slow the spread of COVID-19.

Schools can be one of the biggest culprits in the spread of germs, and districts are working hard to keep that at a minimum.

But you can get a head start by preparing your child with some general knowledge and habits they can follow to lower their risk of sharing germs with others.
