Have your child sit near a window
This tip also relies on good weather. Speak to the teacher about keeping the windows open in the room, since circulation of fresh air can reduce the chances of COVID-19 transmission. Encourage your child to choose a seat near the window, too, so they’ll be closest to the fresh air. You might also consider speaking to the school board about putting air purifiers with HEPA filters in classrooms. While Mayo Clinic says they do not kill the COVID-19 virus, these filters do trap the elements that the virus attaches to and uses to circulate. So they can stop virus-carrying particles from moving around.
