Universal precaution: Children and adults need to follow the same precautions. Limited outings/contacts, frequent hand washing/sanitizing, mask if going to a public place, avoid touching face. If they are sick, keep them quarantined to one room/bathroom to avoid spread. Most children will not show severe symptoms if they are covid positive.

COVID 19: "Teach our children well." Wash hands (or use sanitizer) often for at least 20 seconds. Wash hands before touching eyes, nose or mouth. Use a cloth cover over mouth & nose when around others. Stay home as much as possible. Avoid sick people. Distance at least 6 feet from others. Clean/ disinfect frequently used surfaces.
