While the building is closed for the COVID-19, the following are some health tips that you can review with your children at home.

The following is advice from the CDC:

STAY HOME WHEN YOU ARE SICK. If possible, stay home and this includes errands when you are sick. You will prevent others from catching your illness. Avoid close contact with people who are sick by keeping that person in another room and limit contact with them. You do not want to forget them but limit them from being in the same room with others who are not ill.

AVOID TOUCHING YOUR EYES, NOSE AND MOUTH. Germs spread this way.

COVER COUGHS AND SNEEZES. Use a tissue and then throw it away. If a tissue is not available, cough or sneeze into your inner elbow.

WASH YOUR HANDS FOR 20 SECONDS. Wash your hands often to prevent the spread of germs. Using soap and water is the best! Make sure you lather up and scrub for at least 20 seconds before rinsing and drying hands. Alcohol-based hand sanitizer with at least 60% alcohol can be used if needed, but you still need to scrub for at least 20 seconds or until the sanitizer is dry on your hands.

CLEAN AND DISINFECT SURFACES OR OBJECTS. Clean frequently touched surfaces at home. Some examples are: doorknobs, faucets and counters.

At this time social distancing is advised. That means staying 3-6 feet from other people, and not shaking hands or hugging others. You can take your children outside for fresh air, take a walk or play.

There are a number of you tube videos on hand washing and how germs spread.
