Do not share personal items, even with friends.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Hand hygiene<\/strong> \u2013 new sinks and handwashing stations mean we have 400 places to wash your hands, including in every portable. Wash your hands often, with soap and water.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Respiratory hygiene<\/strong> \u2013 cough or sneeze into your elbow or sleeve. Don\u2019t touch your face and don\u2019t share food or water.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Follow mask rules<\/strong> \u2013 Adults, middle and secondary students must all where masks when entering buildings, in busy or shared spaces, and when interacting outside of their learning group. Mask use by others or in other scenarios is a personal choice that will be supported.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Stay home when sick<\/strong> \u2013 Daily Health Checks are required before attending school, each day, for each person entering a school building. At any time, if you or your child develop any symptoms of COVID-19, please seek testing and then self-isolate. And stay home when you\u2019re sick.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>And, as Dr. Bonnie Henry has reminded us all: kindness can also go a long way. We&#8217;re each dealing with our individual and complicating life factors, but every single one of us has been and continues to be affected by this outbreak.<\/p>\n<p>What we&#8217;re seeing is a lot of people, working hard, to do their best right now. It&#8217;s not always perfect, but it shows the deep levels of commitment and caring people have for others. Thank you for being aware of that and part of it.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The work to keep our schools safer involves everyone working hard, together.
