Suggested Points to Emphasize When Talking to Children


  • Adults at home and school are taking care of your health and safety. If you have concerns, please talk to an adult you trust.
  • Not everyone will get the coronavirus (COVID-19) disease. School and health officials are being especially careful to make sure as few people as possible get sick.
  • It is important that all students treat each other with respect and not jump to conclusions about who may or may not have COVID-19.
  • There are things you can do to stay health and avoid spreading the disease:
o   Avoid close contact with people who are sick.
o   Stay home when you are sick.
o   Cover your cough or sneeze into your elbow or a tissue, then throw the tissue in the trash.
o   Avoid touching your eyes, nose, and mouth.
o   Wash hands often with soap and water (20 seconds).
o   If you don’t have soap, use hand sanitizer (60–95% alcohol based).
o   Clean and disinfect frequently touched objects and surfaces using a regular household cleaning spray or wipe.
