7 Preventative Steps to Help Children Stay Healthy During COVID-19

According to the CDC as of July 21,2020 these 7 steps below can help keep your child healthy during the pandemic :  

• Clean hands often
• Avoid people who are sick
• Put distance between your children and other people outside of your home.
• Children 2 years and older should wear a mask over their nose and mouth when in public settings where it’s difficult to practice social distancing. This is an additional public health measure people should take to reduce the spread of COVID-19 in addition to (not instead of) the other everyday preventive actions listed above.
• Clean and disinfect high-touch surfaces daily in household common areas (like tables, hard-backed chairs, doorknobs, light switches, remotes, handles, desks, toilets, and sinks).
• Launder items including washable plush toys as needed. Follow the manufacturer’s instructions. If possible, launder items using the warmest appropriate water setting and dry items completely. Dirty laundry from an ill person can be washed with other people’s items.
• Make sure your children are up to date on well-child visits and immunizations.
