Precautionary Coronavirus (COVID-19) Information from Anderson District Five
Anderson Five Students and Families:
Anderson School District Five continues to monitor the Novel Coronavirus (COVID-19) outbreak. At this time there are no reported cases in South Carolina. It is our duty to keep our community well-informed by sharing information deemed important and communicating preventative measures as advised.
While no cases of the Novel Coronavirus (COVID-19) have been reported in South Carolina, please know that Anderson Five views the potential of the situation seriously and is being proactive in disseminating information as an act of precaution and preparedness. We maintain regular contact with the South Carolina Department of Health and Environmental Control (SCDHEC) receiving updates in an effort to keep abreast of any developments of confirmed cases in the United States. Additionally, we continue to implement guidelines from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).
As always, we encourage everyone to practice proper hand washing, covering of the mouth and nose with a tissue when coughing and/or sneezing, and staying home when ill. Students and staff are reminded to stay home from school/work for at least 24 hours after being fever-free without medication.
