• Wash your hands often with soap and water. If soap and water are not available, use an alcohol-based hand sanitizer.
• Avoid touching your eyes, nose, and mouth with unwashed hands.
• Avoid close contact with people who are sick.
• Stay home when you are sick.
• Cover your cough or sneeze with a tissue, then throw the tissue in the trash. If a tissue is unavailable, raise your arm and direct your cough or sneeze into the inside of your elbow and shirt sleeve.
• Clean and disinfect frequently touched objects and surfaces.
• Individuals with chronic health issues and/or individuals experiencing severe symptoms should be evaluated by a medical professional.
Additionally, the New Jersey State Department of Public Health does not recommend the use of face masks for general prevention, and says that handwashing provides better protection from infectious diseases.
iLearn Schools will continue to monitor the situation and provide updates as necessary. We thank you for your cooperation and support. We also look forward to continuing to lead healthy and hygienic lives for the future.
