Keep children healthy

Posted: 7/29/2020

According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), most children do not appear to be at higher risk for COVID-19 than adults. Although adults make up most of the known cases to date some children and infants have been sick with COVID-19. Help keep your children healthy by following these tips:

• Watch your child for any COVID-19 symptoms, including dry cough or fever.
• Teach everyday preventive actions such as washing their hands often.
• Help your child stay active by encouraging them to play outdoors.
• Reach out to friends and family via phone or video chats to help your child stay socially connected.
• Watch for signs of stress or behavior changes such as unhealthy eating or sleeping habits, excessive sadness, and difficulty paying attention and concentration.
