CORONAVIRUS INFORMATION Bedford County Public Schools is working to carefully monitor the health status of our school and community in relation to COVID-19 (Coronavirus). Our school division maintains regular communication with the regional offices of the Virginia Department of Health, which serves as the conduit of information for the Centers for Disease Control (CDC). Our School Nursing Team has received frequent updates for monitoring potential symptoms and risk for COVID-19 through school clinics. At the time of this posting (3/4/20), the CDC has confirmed no cases of COVID-19 for Virginia. Our School Nurse Team continues to provide appropriate preventative health instruction for students and families in regard to any communicable conditions, especially those of a respiratory or viral nature. Stay home when you are sick . If possible, stay home from work, school, and errands when you are sick. You will help prevent others from catching your illness. Avoid close contact with people who are sick. Avoid touching your eyes, nose, or mouth . Germs spread this way. Cover coughs and sneezes . Use a tissue to cover coughs and sneezes, then dispose of the tissue. When a tissue is not available, cough or sneeze into your elbow. Clean and disinfect surfaces or objects . Clean and disinfect frequently touched surfaces at home, work or school, especially in areas where someone is known to be ill. Wash hands for 20 seconds . Washing hands often under clean, running water can help prevent the spread of germs. If you cannot wash your hands, use alcohol-based hand sanitizer with at least 60-95% alcohol. The National Association of School Psychologists (NASP) has developed a parent resource on how to talk about this important health topic with your child. The CDC provides daily updates and health-related guidance in regards to COVID-19 if further information is needed for your family.
