Coronavirus Update

Catholic Education Coronavirus Update - 10th March

Sending Home Sick Students and Staff

As the impact of the virus on children and healthy adults can be quite mild there may be a tendency to continue working and attending school and hence increase the risk of infecting others. This is in contrast to SARS and Swine, where most people were quite unwell if infected. The advice from Health is that schools should be very strong on sending home staff and students who have the slightest sign of illness. This is not a time for soldiering on with coughs and colds.

Hygiene 

Good hygiene remains the best protective measure against the spread of the virus:

  • Wash your hands frequently and thoroughly with soap and water or hand sanitiser (for 20 seconds).
  • Cough or sneeze into your elbow or a tissue (dispose tissue into the bin) and then wash hands thoroughly.
  • Avoid close contact with anyone displaying cold or flu-like symptoms and stay away from others if you are unwell.
