School nurses are on the front line of the fight against the flu. We have provided some tools to help school nurses protect themselves and the children they see every day. Find tips and frequently asked questions on flu prevention and care.
- Consider wearing a protective mask when caring for children with flu.
- Move students, teachers and staff to a separate room while awaiting pick-up if they are sick.
- Clean surfaces regularly.
- Educate and encourage students and staff to cover their mouth and nose when coughing or sneezes.
- Remind teachers, staff and students about good hand hygiene practices.
