US schools start planning for possible spread of coronavirus
By Jane Lee
According to the Star Tribune, schools in the U.S are canceling travels abroad and preparing online lessons for possible closures after federal officials warned the spread of the COVID-19 virus, which started in China.
School letters sent from Florida to California homes this week sought to inform parents that the exposure of the virus is still low and some suggestions to prevent the flu: wash hands, cover mouth and nose with masks, and stay home if symptoms arise, Star Tribune Friday reported.
According to the Star Tribune, cleaning staff at schools were told to pay extra attention to surfaces that students touch and some districts add had sanitizers or handheld disinfectant sprayers used in hospitals in schools and buses.
The Star Tribune reported that, for the worst cases, schools are planing online classes and officials are considering how to deal with the absences that will be occurred by the school closures.
Francisco Negron, chief legal officer for the National School Boards Association, said longer closures would impact some students who are in the school's child care programs or meal plans, according to the Star Tribune.
