Bhubaneswar: The Odisha Government today urged teachers and other education officials to create awareness among school students for prevention of coronavirus or COVID-19.
In an advisory to all the district education officers (DEOs), district project coordinators (DPCs) and block education officers (BEOs), the Odisha School Education Programme Authority (OSEPA) asked them to spread the awareness especially among the school going students on do’s and don’ts for prevention of the infections.
“In order to create awareness among students, preventive interventions such as frequent hand wash, respiratory etiquettes (using handkerchief over mouth while coughing/sneezing, use of issue paper or using the sleeve of shirt covering upper arm staying away from school when sick, avoiding public gatherings etc.) would help in preventing/reducing transmission of not only this disease, but also large number of other communicable disease, notably flu-like illnesses,” OSEPA said.
All the headmasters of schools have been directed to create awareness among the students of all the government and private schools, it added.
COVID-19 is spreading its tentacles rapidly across more than 80 countries. In India, there have been 30 confirmed cases so far, according to reports.
