Following basic principles can help keep students, teachers, and staff safe at school and help stop the spread of this disease.
Recommendations for healthy schools are:
- Sick students, teachers and other staff should not come to school
- Schools should enforce regular hand washing with safe water and soap, alcohol rub/hand sanitizer or chlorine solution and, at a minimum, daily disinfection and cleaning of school surface
- Schools should provide water, sanitation and waste management facilities and follow environmental cleaning and decontamination procedures
- Promote social distancing
