STAYING HEALTHY

TIPS FOR STUDENTS, FAMILIES, AND STAFF

Avoid close contact

• Avoid close contacts with people who are sick. When you are sick, keep your distance from others to protect them from getting sick too.

Stay home when sick

• Remain at home until fever has been gone for at least 24 hours without the use of fever-reducing medicines. 

• Seek immediate medical care if symptoms become more severe, e.g., high fever or difficulty breathing.

Cover your mouth and nose

• Cover cough with a tissue or sleeve.

• Provide adequate supplies within easy reach, including tissues and no-touch trash cans.

Wash hands frequently

• Encourage 20-seconds of hand washing by students and staff through education, scheduled time for hand washing, and have adequate supplies.

Avoid touching your eyes, nose, or mouth

• Germs are often spread when a person touches something that is contaminated with germs and then touches his or her eyes, nose, or mouth.

Practice other good health habits

• Clean and disinfect frequently touched surfaces at home, work, or school, especially when someone is ill.

• Get plenty of sleep, be physically active, manage your stress, drink plenty of fluids, and eat nutritious food.
