HEALTH OFFICE UPDATE
Spring is almost here but we still have to deal with colds and the flu. Here are a few brief suggestions for when to stay home. Overall not feeling well, stay home because if you have multiple symptoms, you’re more contagious. If you have a fever of 100.4 degrees or higher, stay home. Cough, stuffy or runny nose, sneezing or other respiratory virus symptoms, stay home if they are accompanied by a fever. If you are vomiting, have diarrhea, sore throat, ear or eye irritation (including pink eye) or a rash with pain or blisters, stay home. Stop by the health office with specific questions
