How should parents talk to children about COVID-19?
section_content: As public conversations around COVID-19 increase, children may worry about
themselves, their family, and friends getting ill with COVID-19. Parents play
an important role in helping children make sense of what they hear in a way
that is honest, accurate, and minimizes anxiety or fear. CDC has created
guidance to help adults have conversations with children about
COVID-19 and ways they can avoid getting and spreading the disease.

Reviewer feedback on this answer:
Answer is rather short and vague but does supply a link for "guidance to help adults have conversations with children about COVID-19". So while not a direct answer it's only a quick click to get to the information the requester actually wants.
it did not answer the question 'How' which is very important

How do I prepare my children in case of COVID-19 outbreak in our community?
section_content: Outbreaks can be stressful for adults and children. Talk with your children
about the outbreak, try to stay calm, and reassure them that they are safe. If
appropriate, explain to them that most illness from COVID-19 seems to be mild.
Children respond differently to stressful situations than
adults.
CDC offers
resources to help talk with children about
COVID-19.

Reviewer feedback on this answer:
Answer is short but gives a link to ways that their children may be handling the situation as well as a link to resources for help in how to talk to their children. Not direct answers but clicking on the first link will probably give the requester a better idea on how to proceed with how to talk to their children when opening link 2.
The answer is precise and it goes directly addressing the question

section_headers: Tips for talking to children
section_content: 
Remain calm. Remember that children will react to both what you say and how you say it. They will pick up cues from the conversations you have with them and with others.
Reassure children that they are safe. Let them know it is okay if they feel upset. Share with them how you deal with your own stress so that they can learn how to cope from you.
Make yourself available to listen and to talk. Let children know they can come to you when they have questions.
Avoid language that might blame others and lead to stigma.
Pay attention to what children see or hear on television, radio, or online. Consider reducing the amount of screen time focused on COVID-19. Too much information on one topic can lead to anxiety.
Provide information that is truthful and appropriate for the age and developmental level of the child. Talk to children about how some stories on COVID-19 on the Internet and social media may be based on rumors and inaccurate information. Children may misinterpret what they hear and can be frightened about something they do not understand.
Teach children everyday actions to reduce the spread of germs. Remind children to wash their hands frequently and stay away from people who are coughing or sneezing or sick. Also, remind them to cough or sneeze into a tissue or their elbow, then throw the tissue into the trash.
If school is open, discuss any new actions that may be taken at school to help protect children and school staff.
