The school has introduced a brand-new class for the students - one that educates them on how to stay safe from the virus and teaches them about the precautionary measures they need to keep in mind. A teacher of the school, Jayashri Gupta, said, "We have started these extra classes from Saturday. We are informing the children about the symptoms of the coronavirus and how to avoid the infection by listing what is not to be done - ¡®karo na¡¯.¡±

The main agenda behind naming the class in such a 'pun'-derful way is because it sounds more appealing to students and that helps in getting the message across clearly. The 'karo na' list includes precautions like avoiding handshakes, hugs, and tiffin and water bottle-sharing.
It also asks the students to not share towels or handkerchiefs with each other to avoid falling sick. The children are encouraged to frequently wash their hands and if they feel unwell, to immediately inform their parents or teachers about the same.
All in all, they are taught to practice basic and proper hygiene in school as well as at home. Since Varanasi attracts a large number of tourists every year, it is important to teach the local people about being safe from the virus. The teacher also said, "We have decided to keep the children educated on this issue so that they can convey the information to their parents also."
It is extremely important to educate children on the dangers of the virus because they are not as careful of their actions as adults are, and it is always better to be safe than sorry.
