Safety is our number one priority!
Why is it crucial that we follow our school's safety protocols? They are
undoubtedly disruptive and demanding, but there is evidence to suggest that they
work when adopted generally, widely, and by everyone! The COVID-19 pandemic
has altered our way of life. Many of us are staying at home, avoiding people on the
street, and altering regular behaviours such as going to school or work in unexpected
ways. The coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) outbreak has emerged as the
biggest worldwide pandemic in history. Experts believe that social lockdown will
result in benefits such as reducing the increase in the number of infected people and
preventing a massive load on the healthcare system. Our government announced a
state of emergency, requesting that people avoid from making unnecessary and non-
urgent trips away from home.
As schools reopen for the 2022-2023 school year, it is essential that
precautions are taken both inside and outside the classroom to avoid the spread of
COVID-19. A crucial lesson learnt during the pandemic is the importance of adhering
to health protocols in all settings, particularly schools. As students, we should not rely
on our teachers or even our school for our protection. Even though schools are
responsible for the protection of their students since schools' sole job is to provide a
safe and healthy environment, still it is up to us to protect ourselves. We should not
only know the facts about protocols, but also follow them and make them a habit.
First and foremost, as responsible students, we must understand how COVID-

19 spreads and how we can protect ourselves and our peers. This is an important first
step in following protocols. In order to follow the rules, we must first understand what
it is. The first thing we need to do is be vaccinated against COVID-19. We will be
protected against COVID-19 through immunization. Vaccines prevent the spread of
harmful, serious, and deadly diseases, according to an article written by Alex Rice
titled "The Importance of Vaccinations." A vaccine (or immunization) is a method of
increasing your body's natural immunity to a disease before you become ill. This
prevents you from becoming ill and spreading the sickness.
Next, keep in mind that the virus primarily transmits from person to person,
particularly if you're within six feet of one another. Remember that even if you don't
have symptoms, you can have the virus and spread it. The following guidelines or
protocols must be followed! Even if you don't feel unwell, we should always wear a
face mask in public. Facemasks are designed to protect both the person wearing
them and the immediate environment from breathable pollutants, according to the
European Journal of Medical Research (2020). We should make it a habit to wear a
mask or face covering whenever we are in a public space. Also, make sure we
understand when we should wear masks and any related school guidelines, such as
how to appropriately dispose of worn masks to prevent the risk of infected masks in
the school. We should also practice staying around six feet away from people in
public places. Some schools or other locations claim that if you wear a facemask, you
are immune to the illness. That is not totally accurate! According to the World Health
Organization, social and physical distancing procedures attempt to decrease disease
spread by breaking down COVID-19 transmission chains and preventing new ones
from forming. It is vital that we follow protocols that are in conformity with the
procedures established by our school. We must also limit close contact with sick
people in our home.
Moreover, handwashing is one of the simplest, most cost-effective, and most
effective ways of preventing the transmission of germs and keeping
everyone healthy. We should frequently wash our hands with soap and water for at
least 20 seconds. In addition, if soap and water are not available, we should use a
hand sanitizer containing at least 60% alcohol. Unwashed hands should not be used
to touch your eyes, nose, or mouth. Sneeze or cough into a tissue or the inside of
your elbow. Clean hands are a happy hand. Whenever in doubt, wash it out. Let's
break-up with germs! Safety first!
Furthermore, clean and disinfect frequently touched areas such as faucets and
phones on a daily basis. We must clean and disinfect surfaces and objects that are
frequently handled, such as our desks, counters, doorknobs, computer keyboards,
hands-on learning items, taps, phones, and toys, on a daily basis. Surfaces and
objects that are clearly dirty should be cleaned right away. If surfaces or objects have
been soiled with bodily fluids or blood, use gloves and take additional precautions to
avoid coming into touch with the fluid. Clean and disinfect the surface after removing
the spill.
Most importantly, if you experience common symptoms like as fever, cough, or

fatigue. Other symptoms may include shortness of breath, chest pain or pressure,
muscle or body aches, headache, loss of taste or smell, confusion, sore throat,
congestion or runny nose, diarrhea, nausea and vomiting, abdominal pain, and skin
rashes. If you experience any of these symptoms, notify your teacher and isolate
yourself immediately.
Lastly, it is very important that all COVID-19 protocols are followed in our
school. We are all in this together, and we must all do our part to limit the chance of
COVID-19 spreading and to contribute to the health of our school community. I
understand that the current situation is unusual in our lives and recognize that we are
all learning and working to adapt to it. We know that we may make a mistake or forget
to do something, but we must carefully and continuously check our actions, take
advantage of our mistakes and shortcomings, and do what is needed.
