Wash hands
Make sure your child washes their hands often with soap and water for at least 20 seconds. Read more and watch a video on how to wash hands correctly.
If soap and water are not readily available, make sure your child uses a hand sanitizer that contains at least 60% alcohol. Teach your child to cover all surfaces of their hands with hand sanitizer and rub their hands together until they feel dry. If your child is under 6 years of age, supervise them when they use hand sanitizer.
You, as a parent, guardian, or caretaker, play an important role in teaching your child to wash their hands.
Explain that handwashing can keep them healthy and stop germs from spreading to others.
Be a good role model — if you wash your hands as recommended, they’re more likely to do the same.
Make handwashing a family activity.
Practice cough and sneeze etiquette by covering your nose and mouth with a tissue when sneezing or coughing, throwing the tissue in the closest garbage can, and washing your hands after you throw it away.
Avoid close contact
Keep your child at least 6 feet away from others who don’t live with them and those who are sick (such as coughing and sneezing).
Limit in-person playtime and connect virtually with other children
CDC recognizes this pandemic has been stressful to many. Socializing and interacting with peers can be a healthy way for children to cope with stress and connect with others. However, the key to slowing the spread of COVID-19 is to limit close contact with others as much as possible.
An important guiding principle to remember is that the more people your child interacts with, and the longer that interaction, the higher the risk of COVID-19 spread. While your child may be spending time with other people as they return to childcare or school settings, you should limit your child’s interactions with additional children and adults outside of childcare or school to decrease risk.
