The E word: Ebola

Published

Specializes in School Nursing.

Hi all,

I was just wondering if any of your schools are communicating with parents regarding ebola or taking preliminary precautions. We have had a couple of parents ask what we are doing at school and just wanted to get an idea whether other schools are making (reasonable!) plans? Looking to see what we can do to reassure parents while not causing any hysteria! I am at a private school in a state with no known cases. We do have quite a lot of families that travel internationally, which may be why we have had some inquiries from parents.

Thanks!!

This is CDC advice for college (i.e. with international students/travel), but it may be a good starting point:

Thanks! Your question didn't come up for some reason when I searched.
