Prevention
The practice of social distancing encourages individuals to stay home in self-isolation for an extended period of time to help prevent or lessen the spread of a highly contagious disease such as the Novel Coronavirus (COVID-19).
In addition, please partner with Melissa ISD in routinely reinforcing the following preventative practices in your family household, and if you choose to go out in public or travel, as recommended by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).
- Wash hands often with soap and water, for at least 20 seconds.
- Wash hands after certain activities, including after bathroom breaks and before eating, and after coughing, sneezing, or blowing the nose.
- Cover a cough or sneeze with a tissue and then properly dispose of it, or cover with the crook of your arm.
- Keep hands away from the eyes, nose, and mouth.
- Stay home if sick, except to get medical care.
- Avoid close contact with others who are sick.
- Clean and disinfect frequently touched objects and surfaces.
