Many children refuse to wear their nose masks, while others prefer hanging it under their chin whiles they walk home unprotected.

Some school children in the Eastern Region were captured unaware by camera demonstrating that the covid-19 health protocols is practised in school and not outside. This idea put families at risk due to the 'abnormal' attitude of wards as life after school hours can be another indirect way of spreading the pandemic that needs a second look.
