Obesity prevention environment: Is it time to empower educators and remobilize schools in the post-COVID-19 period?

Childhood obesity continues to be a serious problem. The outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic has led to great life-changing challenges amongst schoolchildren, which might subsequently aggravate existing childhood obesity issues. We suggest that educators and schools need to provide solutions to the problem. © 2021 The Author(s).
