Health expert outlines essential rules for students returning to school

As the new school year begins, medical expert Tudor Ciuhodaru has outlined five essential health rules for parents to protect children in crowded school environments.

To prevent the rapid spread of infectious diseases, the primary recommendation is strict hand hygiene, specifically washing with soap and water before meals, after using the toilet, and after coughing or sneezing. Other key pillars for student health include maintaining a balanced diet, ensuring backpacks are not excessively heavy to protect spinal health, conducting health checks before school starts, and maintaining clear communication with teachers regarding any existing medical conditions.
