NEWS FROM THE NURSE
I am hearing a lot of concern from students, parents and others about
this new virus that has surfaced in our area. Just to give you a few
things to watch for…
1. An increased cough
2. A change in the sound of the cough
3. Wheezing
4. Shortness of breath
Should any student start exhibiting these things in the classroom
please send them to me for evaluation!!!!!!!!! Also please keep a much
closer eye on those already compromised such as your Asthma students
or students prone to respiratory issues.
To PREVENT this virus here is the CDC’s recommendations………..
Guidance for Healthcare Professionals
To help reduce the risk of infection with EV-D68, healthcare
professionals should recommend the following:
• Wash hands often with soap and water for 20 seconds, especially
after changing diapers;
• Avoid touching eyes, nose, and mouth with unwashed hands;
• Avoid kissing, hugging, and sharing cups or eating utensils with
people who are sick;
• Disinfect frequently touched surfaces, such as toys and doorknobs,
especially if someone is sick;
• Stay home when feeling sick, and obtain consultation from your
health care provider.
