COVID-19


Coastside Children’s Programs is closely monitoring the COVID-19 situation and has been in communication with the CDC through the County Health Department. Our teachers are being hyper vigilant about cleaning and disinfecting the classrooms. Teachers will be calling parents if children’s behavior is unusual for example they are not feeling well, not eating, sleeping too much or have a temperature over 99 degrees. We encourage families to keep their children home if they are feeling sick. Children that have a fever are allowed to return to the center after 24 hours fever-free without use of fever reducing medications.

What are the symptoms of COVID-19?

Typically, human coronaviruses cause mild-to-moderate respiratory illness. Symptoms are very similar to the flu, including:
Fever
Cough
Shortness of breath

In some cases, COVID-19 can cause more severe respiratory illness.

What can we do to limit the spread of COVID-19?

As a reminder to our families, if your child is sick, please keep them home from school. To help prevent the spread of respiratory viruses, including the coronavirus and the flu, follow these important tips: 

Wash your hands often with soap and water for at least 20 seconds. If soap and water are not available, use an alcohol-based hand sanitizer.
Avoid touching eyes, nose, and mouth with unwashed hands.
Avoid close contact with people who are sick.
Stay home when sick. (Students may return to school after 24 hours fever-free without the use of fever-reducing medication)
Cover a cough or sneeze with a tissue, then throw the tissue in the trash.
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. 
Get vaccinated every year 

The California Department of Public Health does not recommend the use of face masks for general prevention and says that handwashing provides much better protection from infectious diseases.
