    Program: Save the Children Philippines Advisory

    MANILA, March 12- Save the Children Philippines is calling


    on parents, caregivers and community leaders to take urgent
    precautions to prevent exposure of children to the novel
    Coronavirus (COVID-19) due to rising cases of local
    transmission. The confirmed number of COVID-19 cases has
    reached 49 as of Wednesday.

    Atty. Alberto Muyot, Chief Executive Officer of Save the


    Children Philippines said while most confirmed cases of
    COVID-19 are adults with pre-existing conditions, children
    can still be affected by COVID19 in various ways.

    “Children are being separated when their parents and


    caregivers are being quarantined, or when confined in
    hospitals,” he said.

    More than 22 million children and adolescents have been


    missing out on school after major cities suspended face to
    face classes to prevent the spread of the Coronavirus
    (COVID-19). The World Health Organization on Wednesday
    declared the novel Coronavirus outbreak as pandemic.

    Schools should limit the impact of disruption to education


    through open, distance and online learning, said Atty. Muyot.
    These learning methods maintain connection with students,
    provide psychosocial support and avoid isolation.

    Dr. Cecilia Francisco, Director of Programs of Save the


    Children Philippines said children seem to be escaping the
    worst effects of COVID-19 but they can be exposed to the
    potentially fatal virus when confined in hospitals and
    exposed to people who may have symptoms of COVID-19.

    She also called on parents and caregivers to take advantage


    of the no-school days to spend quality time with their
    children at home, to play with them and read books.

    “Children face stress when they miss out on school,” said


    Dr. Francisco. “Parents and caregivers should respond to
    children’s reaction in a supportive way.”

    The World Health Organization (WHO) suggested steps


    parents, caregivers and community members can do while
    children are not in school due to the suspension of classes.
    These include:

    Monitor your child’s health and keep them home from school
    if they are ill

    Teach and model good hygiene practices for your children.


    These include washing of hands properly and practice of
    cough etiquette

    Encourage your children to ask questions and express their


    feelings with you

    Prevent stigma by using facts and reminding students to be


    considerate of one another

    Coordinate with the school to receive information and ask


    how you can support school safety efforts.
