When children come home from school, parents are often wondering what germs they could be bringing into their home and what they can do to prevent germs or “COVID hitchhikers” from contaminating their home.

To prevent potential COVID-19 germs from entering your home, it is important to have a well developed routine for children to do when walking in the door.

Here are a few things that Dr. Jennifer Gallub does with her family to prevent any hitchhiking germs from contaminating her home.

LEAVE SHOES, BACKPACKS & COATS AT THE DOOR

WASH HANDS IMMEDIATELY!

CHANGE OUT OF EXTERIOR CLOTHING & PLACE THEM IN THE LAUNDRY

THINGS THAT YOU CAN CLEAN/DISINFECT:

ALL LAPTOPS, CHROMEBOOKS, PHONES AND/OR TABLETS NEED TO BE CLEANED WITH A 70% ALCOHOL WIPE ON A DAILY BASIS!

(SEE PROPER CLEANING INSTRUCTIONS ON THE MANUFACTURER’S WEBSITE FOR EACH DEVICE TO PREVENT DAMAGE)

WASH COATS, BACKPACKS & LUNCHBOXES ONCE/WEEK IN THE WASHING MACHINE OR WITH A SPRAY CLEANER IF THEY ARE NOT MACHINE WASHABLE.

Sincerely,

RBK Pediatrics
