Germs can spread quickly in schools. If your child is sick with a cough, fever, sore throat, vomiting, or diarrhea, they should stay home from school to avoid spreading germs that can make others sick. If your child has symptoms of #COVID19, such as fever, cough, or runny nose, get them tested as soon as you can. Consult their doctor if you have questions. #CDC #PublicHealth #Coronavirus

Use hand sanitizer if soap and water are not available. • Remind kids to tell an adult if they feel sick.
