Answer:
Unlike the usual summer months, when children sing their carefree ditty, this year, kids are spending their vacations indoors — all in support of the ongoing battle against COVID-19.
These children are upset at having their holiday plans cancelled, and restrictions imposed on them as far as meeting friends or playing outdoors is concerned. But these young fellows have, in the last 40 days or more, learnt to engage themselves in constructive activities such as drawing, painting, helping in housework, studying online and so on. Moreover, they have also learnt that they are safe since they are at home.
We asked some children to draw and write down their impressions about coronavirus and their life under lockdown. The youngsters were quite forthcoming, and we are reproducing their impressions, in their raw form.
This is what they said:
'Missing school and friends'
Coronavirus is a type of virus. Many people in the world are dying because of this novel virus. Also, offices, schools, malls and markets are closed because of the outbreak.
I think staying at home is very essential. If we stay at home, we are safe. In the lockdown, I am having a lot of fun. I am playing different games with my family. I help my mother in the housework. I am also reading many books. But I am missing my school and friends. I am not scared of this virus, I will defeat it by taking necessary care and precaution.
