COVID 19: If the child is not yours -discuss with the child's parent or guardian. Isolate within the home. Wear a mask. Use excellent handwashing technique and cleanse surfaces often. Children often don't get infected or have minimal symptoms (with some exceptions). If you stay in a bedroom - allow the air to ventilate.

Distance: Maintain separate bedroom and bathrooms, distance as much as possible. Wash hands and wear a mask. If another caregiver may be provided for two weeks, this may reduce transmission.
