WHAT YOU SHOULD KNOW ABOUT CORONAVIRUS DISEASE 2019 (COVID-19)
The Department of Health (DPH) is stressing that 1) the risk to the general public is still low, and 2) there are already plans in place to address a possible flu epidemic/pandemic and that the Coronavirus should be treated similarly at this time. As such, GIA will follow the general recommendations contained in the press release, in Georgia Department of Education advisories, and in GIA's health services policies and procedures:
- We will encourage scholars and staff to wash hands frequently with soap and water for at least 20 seconds.
- We will encourage scholars to avoid touching eyes, nose, and mouth with their hands.
- We will ask parents to keep sick children home from school until they’re fever-free for 24 hours without medication.
- We will provide virus-prevention supplies at the school for staff and students, such as soap, hand sanitizer with at least 60% alcohol, tissues and Lysol Disinfectant Spray.
- We will have our facilities team, supported by teachers, staff and scholars, sanitize classrooms and gathering spaces, especially frequently touched surfaces.
- We will encourage everyone to cough/sneeze into an elbow or a tissue (and throw tissue immediately away).
In addition, please know that GIA is finalizing plans to ensure that scholars and families will have options to receive instruction virtually, should the Department of Health advise school closures.
We already have a well-integrated set of on-line platforms and we are confident that we will be able to effectively manage a virtual-driven educational process.
We will keep you updated on matters related to the virus and health concerns in general as we learn more.
