Coronavirus Update 4
Dear San Marino Unified Families and Community,

We hope you all had a great extended weekend compliments of Presidents' Day and Admissions Day. As we start back to school, we want to reaffirm that we are doing all we can to continue to monitor and communicate any updates that become available as they become available regarding the coronavirus. 

As we continue to work with and receive guidance from our national, state, and local health agencies, we are thankful to share that there are no major updates to report. The quick action taken by the CDC, the LA County Department of Public Health, and other health organizations have resulted in there being a low risk for the coronavirus spreading in Los Angeles County.

We will continue to share any new details and information we receive as it becomes available. Our commitment to ensuring the safety, health, and well-being of our students and staff is one we make every day.

In the meantime, we encourage everyone to continue to practice healthy habits!

Center for Disease Control and L.A. County Department of Health Guidelines 

Stay home when you are sick
Stay home from work and school and try to avoid errands when you are sick. This will help prevent spreading the illness to others.
 
"Students and staff with influenza symptoms, including a fever, a cough or sore throat, should stay home and not attend classes or participate in other group activities for at least 24 hours after the fever resolves without the use of fever-reducing medications," says Pamela Kahn, Orange County Department of Education's coordinator of Health and Wellness.
 
Avoid close contact
Avoid close contact with people who are sick. When you are sick, keep your distance from others to protect them from getting sick too.
 
Cover your mouth and nose
Cover your mouth and nose with a tissue when coughing or sneezing. It may prevent those around you from getting sick. Flu and other serious respiratory illnesses, like respiratory syncytial virus (RSV), whooping cough, and severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS), are spread by coughing, sneezing or unclean hands.
 
Clean your hands
Washing your hands often will help protect you from germs. If soap and water are not available, use an alcohol-based hand rub.  Here is a three-minute video from the CDC about proper handwashing:  https://youtu.be/eZw4Ga3jg3E
 
Practice other good health habits
Clean and disinfect frequently touched surfaces at home, work or school, especially when someone is ill. Get plenty of sleep, be physically active, manage your stress, drink plenty of fluids and eat nutritious food.
