Dear Parents,
Send children to school when healthy
If your child isn’t displaying any symptoms such as a fever or cough it’s best to send them to school – unless a public health advisory or other relevant warning or official advice has been issued affecting your child’s school.
Kindly teach your child good hand and respiratory hygiene practices for school and elsewhere, like frequent hand washing (see below), covering a cough or sneeze with a flexed elbow or tissue, then throwing away the tissue into a closed bin, and not touching their eyes, mouths or noses if they haven’t properly washed their hands.
In order to reduce the risk of Corona virus infection kindly follow these important precautions:
Washing hands properly
Step 1: Wet hands with safe running water
Step 2: Apply enough soap to cover wet hands
Step 3: Scrub all surfaces of the hands – including backs of hands, between fingers and under nails – for at least 20 seconds
Step 4: Rinse thoroughly with running water
Step 5: Dry hands with a clean, dry cloth, single-use towel or hand drier as available
Wash your hands often, especially before and after eating; after blowing your nose, coughing, or sneezing; going to the bathroom/toilets/latrines and whenever your hands are visibly dirty.
Wearing medical masks when not indicated may cause unnecessary cost, procurement burden and create a false sense of security that can lead to neglecting other essential measures such as hand hygiene practices. Furthermore, using a mask incorrectly may hamper its effectiveness to reduce the risk of transmission.
Thanking you,
Principal
