Children are always adorable to parents and this love is natural. People often forget to wash their hands and maintain social distancing while taking children to their laps amid the coronavirus pandemic.

Experts opined that maintaining social distancing and following health guidelines are must to avoid the spreading of the deadly coronavirus.

People must not kiss their kids or touch them without washing hands with soap. Coronavirus is highly contagious. So everyone should be very aware of these guidelines, experts further said.

Medicine Professor Z M Kabir Chowdhury said, “Not just during corona time, babies shouldn’t be touched with germ filled bare hand generally. Baby’s skin are very sensitive to get infected. Parents and elders should cuddle or care them after getting disinfected but I wouldn’t suggest anyone even the fathers who work outside must avoid kissing their babies.”

“Maintaining social distancing and following health guidelines are must to do for the safety of babies and other members of family,” he added.
