Answer 1

Answer:

To the members of our community:

The World Health Organization (WHO) has declared the Novel Corona virus to be an international public health emergency, which ensures alignment between countries and recognizes that multiple counties may be affected. The risk in Canada remains low. However, people become understandably worried and so want to know what our school is doing to help.

At Meadowridge, we follow closely the advice of the WHO, the CDC, and the provincial and local Health authorities. Some measures that we have taken are the same measures that we have used in the past for influenza infection control, and control of the spread of many other viral infections.

They include:

an increase in disinfecting common surfaces,

using verbal welcomes instead of handshaking,

reminding our students of handwashing and keeping hands away from the mouth and eyes,

reminding everyone that coughing or sneezing means that one should cover their mouth with their arm or a tissue,

providing hand sanitizers throughout the school as an adjunct to hand washing.

any student or staff who appears to be ill, most often from a flu or cold, is asked to stay at home and to see a health provider.

any person coming to school who appears to be ill is sent home.

In the message from the Provincial Health Officer below, she notes that masks are mostly useful for those who are already sick, and for medical personnel; the use of masks as prevention has not been demonstrated and may provide a false sense of protection. Remember, hand washing is the most effective thing that people can do. And, as always, we should all stay healthy through eating well, getting enough rest, and getting appropriate exercise.

Our school is committed to providing the best possible environment for our children, one based upon the best medical advice available. Please see the message below for reliable sources of information for families and schools.

Thank you,

Headmaster!
