Children are getting used to the new normal where the coronavirus is concerned.
Gone are the days when they could prepare for the day at school – seeing that they looked prim and proper, their outfit neat and well-ironed, shoes polished and hair neatly combed. Playing on the school’s grounds has equally become remote.
Schools have been shut, the latest being Singapore which will shutter them from Wednesday as authorities warned new coronavirus strains such as the one first detected in India were affecting more children in the city-state.
