Corona Virus Update March 17, 2020

Good Day CPE II,

Below, you will find updated information in an official letter to families from the Chancellor. 

I also want to remind you all that schools have been closed so that person to person contact can be limited, preventing the spread of the Coronavirus. Social distancing, or keeping away from as many people as possible, can limit the spread of the virus. It is important to note that the cdc says, based on what is currently known about the virus, spread from person-to-person happens most frequently among close contacts (within about 6 feet). This type of transmission occurs via respiratory droplets. Although transmission of novel coronavirus to persons from surfaces contaminated with the virus has not been documented, current evidence suggests that novel coronavirus may remain viable for hours to days on surfaces made from a variety of materials. Try to get kids outside every day for walks but avoid public playground structures and close contact with other children. Have kids connect with their friends using technology. I am confident that working together, all will be well.
