Health News from Nurse Doherty
As you know, Woburn is designated a Red community (average daily incidence rate is greater than 8 cases per 100,000 over the last two weeks) per the Massachusetts Department of Public Health, which makes it extremely important to follow all CDC guidelines around COVID-19.
Keep vigilant with social distancing, wearing a mask in public, and hand washing.
Avoid crowded places.
Do not send your child into school sick. Contact the nurse for guidance in returning to school.
When calling in your child absent, please leave the reason for the absence. The nurse will follow up with any family who has a sick child.
If you travel out of state, please follow the Massachusetts guidelines. See https://www.mass.gov/info-details/covid-19-travel-order for detailed information. No student will be allowed into school until these guidelines have been fulfilled.
Please also remember that all students must be administered an influenza immunization by December 31st per the Massachusetts Department of Public Health. Documentation of the immunization should be sent to the school nurse's office.
