In the “Guidelines for Prevention and Control of Novel Coronavirus (First Edition)” released on February 1, the CDC has introduced a series of prevention and control guidelines for special populations and special places. Which of them about children, students, kindergartens (or schools), what need to pay attention to? Prevention and control guidelines for children: 1. Do not go to crowded places and do not attend parties. 2. Always wear a mask when you go out, and remember to remind your parents and grandparents to wear a mask. 3. Work and rest regularly and eat healthily. Wash your hands carefully before and after meals. Do more sports with your mom and dad at home. From now on, get into the habit of covering your mouth and nose with a tissue or your sleeve when you sneeze or cough. 5. If you have a fever or get sick, make sure to go to the hospital with your dad or mom in time. Prevention and control guidelines for students: 1. During winter break (1) Students with a history of living in or traveling to areas with a high incidence of the epidemic (such as Wuhan and other areas) should be placed under medical observation at home or in designated places for 14 days from the time they leave the area with a high incidence of the epidemic. (2) Students everywhere should stay home as much as possible, reduce visits to friends and relatives, gatherings and dinners, and reduce activities in crowded public places, especially places with poor air mobility. (3) Students are advised to have daily health monitoring and report to the community or school designated person in charge as required by the community or school. (4) At the end of winter break, students may return to school normally if they have no suspicious symptoms. If there are any suspicious symptoms, they should report to the school or have their guardians report to the school, seek medical attention in a timely manner, and return to school when they have recovered. 2. On the way back to school (1) Wear a medical surgical mask or N95 mask when taking public transportation. (2) Maintain hand hygiene at all times and reduce contact with public items and parts of the transportation. (3) Monitor your health during the journey and take the initiative to measure your body temperature when you feel feverish. (4) Pay attention to the health condition of passengers around you and avoid close contact with people with suspicious symptoms. (5) If suspicious symptoms appear during the journey, take the initiative to wear a medical surgical mask or N95 mask, avoid contact with other people as much as possible, and seek medical attention in a timely manner depending on your condition. (6) If you need to go to a medical institution during the journey, you should take the initiative to tell the doctor the travel and residence history of the relevant disease endemic area and cooperate with the doctor to conduct relevant investigations. (7) Keep travel ticket information properly to cooperate with possible relevant close contact investigations. Students who have a history of residence or travel in areas with a high prevalence of the disease (e.g., Wuhan, etc.) before returning to school are advised to return to school after a 14-day home observation period. 2. Students should monitor their temperature and health status daily after returning to school, minimize unnecessary outings, and avoid contact with other people. 3. Students should properly wear medical surgical masks or N95 masks in environments where they are in close contact with other students and faculty, and minimize their range of motion. 4. Schools should closely monitor the health status of students, take their temperature twice a day, keep records of absences, early departures, and leaves of absence, and immediately report any suspicious symptoms among students to the epidemic manager and cooperate with medical and health institutions in the management and disinfection of close contacts. 5. Schools should avoid organizing large group activities as much as possible. Classrooms, dormitories, libraries, activity centers, cafeterias, auditoriums, teachers’ offices, restrooms, and other activity areas are recommended to be better ventilated and cleaned and equipped with hand sanitizers and hand disinfectants. 6. The school should conduct online teaching and make up classes for students who miss classes due to illness, and for those who delay exams due to illness, make-up exams should be arranged and should not be recorded in their files.
