Preventative Measures

- minimise contact with individuals who are unwell by ensuring that those who have coronavirus (COVID-19) symptoms, or who have someone in their household who does, do not attend school
- clean hands thoroughly more often than usual
- ensure good respiratory hygiene by promoting the ‘catch it, bin it, kill it’ approach
- reinforce the Hands, Face, Space process
- introduce enhanced cleaning, including cleaning frequently touched surfaces often, using anti-viral products
- minimise contact between individuals and maintain social distancing wherever possible
- where necessary, wear appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE)
Response to any infection:
