When to Keep Your Child Home from School

The ACHD recommends students and families take the same precautions recommended during the flu season.

• Follow your pediatrician’s orders. If your child is told to stay home, keep him or her home.
• Cover coughs and sneezes with tissues, or cough or sneeze into your inner elbow.
• Wash your hands frequently with soap and water. If not available, use alcohol-based hand sanitizers.
• Get a flu vaccination.
• Clean and disinfect frequently touched objects and surfaces.
• Avoid people who are sick and practice social distancing.
