Organised by the welfare department of the school, the session began with an introduction by school nurses Jincy Wilson, Praseela K Augustine and Shiju Sebastian. The session advised the school staff to continue observing the public health guidelines outlined by Qatar, the instructions for Covid-19 suspect reporting procedure, collecting fitness certificate from the hospital and following precautions such as washing hands for 20 seconds, sanitising hands for 10 seconds, practising social distancing, maintaining bubble groups in classrooms to reduce any risk of contamination and use of face mask to cover the nose and chin.
