Nurse’s Corner
Please make sure to cover your mouth and nose with a tissue when you cough or sneeze, and promptly dispose of the tissue in the trash. If a tissue isn’t available, try to cough or sneeze into your elbow rather than your hands. Remember to wash your hands frequently with soap and water for at least 20 seconds, and use a paper towel to dry your hands and turn off the faucet. If soap and water are unavailable, hand sanitizer is a good alternative for hand hygiene. Additionally, please stay home if you're feeling unwell, and only return after being fever-free for at least 24 hours without the need for fever-reducing medication. By taking these steps, we can all contribute to preventing the spread of germs and keeping everyone healthy.
