COVID-19

Preventative measures to help reduce the spread of illness and keep healthy

As we have been well reminded this year with the SARS-CoV-2 virus, the nature of many diseases makes it possible for them to spread from person to person.

Please follow the simple protocols below:

-Continue to model good hygiene. Remember that hand-washing often with soap and water or if not available use hand sanitizer for at least 20 seconds, wearing a mask, and social distancing are still the most important means of preventing the spread of the SARS-CoV-2 virus.

-Avoid touching your eyes, nose, and mouth.

-Stay home if you are sick, especially with a fever.

-Avoid people who are sick.

Model healthy food choices. Decrease consumption of sugar and processed foods which compromise the immune system. Increase consumption of fruits and vegetables.

Remember, foods are healthiest when they are consumed closer to how they appear in nature. A fresh apple is much more nutritious than a processed Apple Cinnamon

It is important to continue with yearly well-child health care visits during the pandemic to monitor growth and developmental milestones along with vision/hearing screenings especially with increased screen time and headphone usage.

Based on the best available evidence at this time, the CDC recommends that sick students should not attend school in person while they have symptoms of illness.
