He said it was important to reopen schools as it was crucial not only for academic activities but for the child\u2019s development in all aspects.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cThe possibility of contracting Covid-19 from child to child or from child to an adult is minimum. If there was a Covid infected child in a classroom, there is less possibility for all other children in the same class to contract the virus. Only a few students who associate with the child closely might contract the virus,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Dr. De Silva said if parents\u2019 trained the children to follow health practices properly and if proper monitoring takes place in school also, the chance of children getting infected with the virus at school was minimum.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Courtesy: Daily Mirror<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The possibility of transmitting Covid-19 from child to child or from child to an&hellip;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":11356,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"content-type":"","_lmt_disableupdate":"","_lmt_disable":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-11355","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-world-news"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/globaltamilnews.net\/english\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/11355","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/globaltamilnews.net\/english\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/globaltamilnews.net\/english\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/globaltamilnews.net\/english\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/globaltamilnews.net\/english\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=11355"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/globaltamilnews.net\/english\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/11355\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":11357,"href":"https:\/\/globaltamilnews.net\/english\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/11355\/revisions\/11357"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/globaltamilnews.net\/english\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/11356"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/globaltamilnews.net\/english\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=11355"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/globaltamilnews.net\/english\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=11355"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/globaltamilnews.net\/english\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=11355"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
