Epidemic Education

The outbreak of the novel coronavirus
(2019-nCoV) turned this year’s Spring
Festival into a special experience for chil-
dren. Education is an inseparable part
of the epidemic prevention and control
across the country. It is a valuable chance
for children to learn and grow up, which
has profound significance for the future
development of the society.
Knowing about a disease is not only a
process of scientific development but also
an example of how people seek truth amid
rumors and chaos. Children should develop

A series of measures have been
adopted to control the novel
coronavirus (2019-nCoV), such
as locking down the epicenter
of the outbreak Wuhan City,
capital of Hubei Province in cen-
tral China. Chinese people have
fully realized the seriousness of
the epidemic and conducted
self-prevention in accordance
with the requirements of the
authorities.
However, some negative emotions
have emerged among the public, such as
anxiety and stress. These feelings can harm
the peaceful and positive social environ-
ment, which is necessary for defeating the
2019-nCoV.
Media and social organizations should
disseminate news that patients are being
cured in a timely manner, and help them

The media should also accurately publi-
cize measures to prevent the epidemic and
help people avoid inappropriate behavior,
such as being rude to Wuhan residents de-

Individuals need to calm down, and
follow the measures for prevention and
control to eliminate the possibility ofthe ability to differentiate between rumors
and truth without spreading unconfirmed
and false information, and think rationally
from an objective perspective.
To fight against the 2019-nCoV, many
medical workers put aside their family, shoul-
dered their social responsibilities and joined
the battle. Seeing their devotion, students
can learn to be strong and grateful.
Children are witnesses of this history.
Although they cannot serve others at such
a young age, they can develop the aspira-
tion of contributing to the country, manage
a balance between study, exercise and en-
tertainment, and respect the importance
of sustainable development of human and
nature. All these will encourage them to
absorb more knowledge in their future
school life.
