Prevention is better than cure
Recently, my son fell slightly sick. I was devastated when I checked his temperature after he returned from school and began to complain that he was not feeling well. By the grace of the Almighty, he recovered fully from what seemed to be a mild flu. Yet, the very thought of a virus now lingering in our city, which has caused a global pandemic, makes me choke. Are the authorities waiting for something massive to happen before halting children from going to schools? Schools are places where large gatherings take place. What makes the situation worse is that many of these institutions are not equipped with the basic facilities required for cleanliness. I believe it is high time for a government intervention in this regard.
