A quick guide to help households stay safe while school is in session
All of the varying information and advice about COVID-19 might seem overwhelming or confusing. Last Mile has created these easy-to-remember tips focused on the 3 key factors that will reduce your child’s risk of getting and spreading the virus: Masks, Air, and Distance (M.A.D.). Our guidelines will help you decide whether or not your child should attend school, as well as help you advocate for best practices and safety at your child’s school.
COVID-19 can stay in the air for a long time and may pass through vents and HVAC (heating, ventilation, and air-conditioning) systems. It can float into your child’s nose or mouth, even if they’re not in the same room or near someone who is sick. So reminding your kids about Mask, Air, and Distance is important. Using “M.A.D.” will help them (and you) remember to do these 3 key things.
Even though we cannot make school as safe as it was before COVID-19, there are measures we can take to reduce risks. If you do not know your school’s plans, advocate for your child and ask school officials for up-to-date information.
