JKCS administration is monitoring government and Fraser Health communications and will inform our community if any action needs to be taken. The following response is from our health nurse: The risk to BC residents is considered to be low and there is no current direction for those who have been traveling in China to be isolated/not attend school. We would ask all the parents to keep their children home from school, as is our usual policy, if they are feeling unwell or if are running a fever or have respiratory symptoms. A good source of information to keep updated is BC Center of Disease Control which has updates on their website.
As for keeping our students from spreading any kind of illness this time of year the best thing to do is ensure frequent hand washing.
