Respiratory Viral season is upon us!
Please remind children:
It is important to cover your mouth and nose when coughing or sneezing. This can be done with a tissue or using their elbow.
Wash hands frequently, especially before and after eating and when they cough or sneeze.
Guidance Regarding ALL Respiratory Viral Illnesses:
The Massachusetts Department of Public Health (DPH) has updated recommendations for schools and the general public to prevent the spread of any respiratory viruses. The new guidance applies to any respiratory viral illness such as Covid, Flu or RSV. Symptoms of a viral illness include fever, chills, fatigue, cough, runny nose, and headache.
There is no longer any statewide isolation or quarantine requirements for those who test positive for Covid.
The new guidance states that even with a positive Covid test, individuals may return to school/work and resume normal activities when:
they have not had a fever for at least 24 hours without the use of fever reducing medications like acetaminophen (Tylenol) or ibuprofen (Advil, Motrin)
AND
their symptoms are improving.
