Joint Oireachtas Committee on Children and Youth Affairs
Children's Experiences during COVID-19 Restrictions and Lockdowns: Engagement
Ms LilyRose Wogan-Martin:
At the start, I got information from other people. Many kids in my class thought that this was a new disease that could kill people. They said random things to scare people. Then I started getting information from the news and the Internet to know how to wash my hands. Moving forward, I think it is going to be crazy. I remember how I used to walk home from my local shop with a pack of crisps with my bare hands and no hand sanitiser. Now, I always have hand sanitiser and a mask. I think everyone will be much more sanitary.
