What are programs planning to do about regular health screening of staff and participants

[JSA of LIS]

Q: What are programs planning to do about regular health screening of staff and participants? Is anyone considering using an online form and having parents do a health screening at home each morning, and then submit digitally?

A: No discussion when this topic was brought up during the meeting, however the guidance from local and state governments should be followed, such as this from Connecticut, “All children and child care staff must be checked prior to entering the program for any observable illness, including cough or respiratory distress, and to confirm temperature below one hundred degrees Fahrenheit.”
