VOLUNTEERS
Please remember to encourage and help children to follow these basic infection prevention strategies.
- Cover their nose and mouth with a tissue when coughing or sneezing, and then throw the tissue away in the trash.
- Teach the kids to sneeze in the crook of their arm if a tissue is not within reach.
- Wash kids’ hands often with soap and water, especially after they cough or sneeze.
- Use a hand sanitizer containing alcohol that is provided in every classroom.
- Avoid touching the eyes, mouth, or nose, which will help stop the spread of germs.
- Avoid close contact with people who are ill.
- If a child is sick, isolate the child and call the parent to take them home.
PARENTS
- Please do not bring an ill child to church. See the well-child policy above.
- Your child should be fever-free for at least 24 hours without a fever-reducing medication before returning to church.
- If you suspect your child has the flu, contact your doctor by phone to see if any anti-flu medication is needed.
