Your best protection against these bacteria is thorough handwashing. Pictorial handwashing sheets may be used as part of the instruction and posted in washrooms. This means eating, drinking or smoking with hands that have been contaminated. Hands are contaminated by coming in direct contact with infected stool. Thorough handwashing will remove this contamination.
Students showing symptoms are to be excluded from school.
In general, no extra environmental cleaning, other than what would normally be carried out for the school, is necessary. Wiping down desks, tables etc. is not needed and may unnecessarily increase anxiety. Follow the cleaning methods already established for the school. Extra effort is advised to monitor and maintain washrooms with dispensed soap, paper towels or blow dryers, and hot and cold running water. Maintain toilets and sinks in a clean condition.
