Talk about distancing
Speak to your child about keeping six feet of space from other children. Some schools have children sit inside of individual large hula hoops during meal time or other activities, to encourage social distancing. Understand that, in some settings, like during sports, social distancing may not be possible. Talk to your child about wearing a mask when social distancing isn’t possible, even in outdoor settings. All of these measures are important to take even for vaccinated individuals. Together with a vaccine, these measures create an army to prevent the spread of the virus, and they’re stronger when used together.
