The 13 symptoms that you should NOT ignore
"If your children feel sick or have suspicious symptoms, keep them at home! Contact your doctor immediately and inform the school ", the Ministry of Education advises the parents through an informative Guide issued for parents / guardians for the correct and safe attendance of the children in the schools.
In communication we had with the Assistant Professor of Pediatrics and Infectious Diseases and member of the Epidemiological Team, Dr. Maria Koliou stated that it is very important for the parents / guardians of the children to follow the instructions given by the authorities. "The Protocol is very simple and understandable. The parent should check the child daily if he has a fever, cough, diarrhea, vomiting, if he does not feel well and in general all the symptoms on the list. A mom or dad can detect these symptoms very easily. May apply a checklist for symptoms. We tried to include all the symptoms that a child can have ".
