5.  Treat Injuries

If you have any cuts or scrapes on your body that aren’t covered by clothing, keep them covered with a bandage or gauze and tape.

Many viruses enter the body through openings such as these, so keep any open wound covered until it has a scab or has completely healed. Check your children for scratches and scrapes and keep them covered as well.

Explain to them that they need to keep the bandage on their boo-boo until it heals so they won’t take it off.
