The SARS-CoV-2 coronavirus is currently scaring many people. Both adults and children. But how do you take these fears away from children?

Coronavirus summary: “Mom, are we all going to die now?”:

The website Parentplanet.ch has published an article on how to answer your children's questions about the virus. There are also tips for parents on what precautionary measures can be taught to children.

Kathrin Buholzer from Parentplanet.ch dealt with exactly this topic. The primary focus is on how parents who are themselves afraid and unsure can provide answers to their child's questions.

Under the title “Mom, are we all going to die now?” Buholzer explains how parents can talk to their children about the topic in a parent-friendly way. At the same time, myths are also being dispelled.

“I read that it says here that my girlfriend was sent this…”

Will we all die because of the SARS-CoV-2 coronavirus? No, of course not. However, it is important to follow certain rules in order not to unnecessarily expose yourself to the risk of infection.

Stay calm, don't react to panicked reports or conspiracy myths, use hand hygiene correctly, but also sneeze correctly if your nose itches. These are tips that Parent Planet gives parents.

Just cough and sneeze into the crook of your arm. This is not so easy for children and is not yet so common. Most people (including adults) just snort and happily spread their pathogens throughout the history of the world.

Another important tip: Please always listen to experts! And here is the link to the complete content on Parentplanet.ch .

Explained: Myths about the coronavirus COVID-19! Since the outbreak of COVID-19 caused by the SARS-CoV-2 pathogen[1], we have received daily inquiries about rumors, myths, conspiracy theories and fake news on the topic. Many people fear infection with the “coronavirus”, which is primarily transmitted through droplet infection – i.e. coughing, sneezing or saliva – and can therefore spread quite quickly.

Of course, deliberate misinformation makes the situation considerably worse and leads to fear, panic and rash actions. In the worst case, well-intentioned or incorrect advice has exactly the opposite effect, i.e. an increased risk of further spread of COVID-19. So being well informed is half the battle!
