Emily Sickbert-Bennett, PhD, MS, associate professor in infectious diseases and director of infection prevention at UNC Hospitals, told WRAL that college students should start with masks that are comfortable enough to wear a lot.
“Make sure your child knows how to clean their own bathroom and knows how to clean kitchen areas,” Sickbert-Bennett said in the interview, especially areas “where you are going to be eating and drinking and brushing your teeth.”
She added that while it may sound basic, the reality is that “many students need to be reminded about the importance of constant hand washing. They also need to be reminded to keep their distance from others, something that will be difficult on college campuses.”
