NSS Unit of JSS Medical College in association with Department of Physiology organized health awareness programme for students of Government Primary School, Civil Police Quarters, Jalapuri, Mysuru; on 10th March 2020. The school had students from classes 1 to 7. All the NSS Volunteers gathered at 10.30 AM. The Headmaster of the school and the students were very happy and enthusiastic seeing NSS volunteers and welcomed the team wholeheartedly and extended their support and cooperation. The team was headed by Dr. Bharath T., NSS Programme Officer of JSSMC unit; accompanied by Dr. Vijaya Vageesh, Assistant Professor of Physiology and MBBS student volunteers. The NSS team started created health awareness on two important topics. Firstly, the students were taught about hand hygiene, its importance and the steps of proper hand washing. The volunteers used a poem written by Dr. Sumana, Professor of Microbiology in lines of a popular poem taught in schools in order to create interest and help them remember the steps of proper hand washing. Secondly, the volunteers were educated and awareness was created about a very important disease that has been declared as a Pandemic by WHO- Corona virus disease 19 (COVID 19). Dr. Bharath and volunteers talked about the risk factors, high risk areas, symptoms, signs, diagnosis, treatment, complications and most importantly the methods of prevention and precautions to be taken to safeguard oneself. They were also made aware about the importance and the people who are at high risk requiring the use of masks and that not everybody needs to wear a mask. They were also told that panic will not help in any way but being aware of the problem and tackling the situation, approaching the healthcare providers and hospital in case of any suspicion is the key to control such a pandemic. Also on demand of school students, a special on-the-spot informative lecture was given by Dr. Bharath on mosquito borne diseases like Dengue, Chickungunya and other vector borne diseases. The Headmaster of the school thanked the NSS unit of JSSMC for organizing and conducting these activities and arranged refreshments as a token of love and appreciation. The JSSMC NSS unit was also very thankful and overwhelmed by the great feedback and appreciation provided by the staff and students of the school
