Here at My Kid’s Lunch, we are aware of the increasing concern surrounding COVID-19. We will continue to implement our illness prevention policies to do our best to keep our employees and clients healthy. Below is our illness prevention policy and some guidelines from the CDC regarding COVID-19.
A sickness which includes vomiting, diarrhea, or fever excludes employess from working. Employees must visit a doctor to receive treatment and obtain a dated written release form. Once a release form is obtained, the employee is permitted to return to work.
There is currently no vaccine to prevent coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19). The best way to prevent illness is to avoid being exposed to this virus. However, as a reminder, CDC always recommends everyday preventive actions to help prevent the spread of respiratory diseases, including:
Avoid close contact with people who are sick.
Avoid touching your eyes, nose, and mouth.
Stay home when you are sick.
Get an annual flu vaccine, if you haven’t already.
Cover your cough or sneeze with your elbow.
Clean and disinfect frequently touched objects and surfaces using a regular household cleaning spray or wipe.
Follow CDC’s recommendations for using a facemask.
CDC does not recommend that people who are well wear a facemask to protect themselves from respiratory diseases, including COVID-19.
Facemasks should be used by people who show symptoms of COVID-19 to help prevent the spread of the disease to others. The use of facemasks is also crucial for health workers and people who are taking care of someone in close settings (at home or in a health care facility).
Wash your hands often with soap and water for at least 20 seconds, especially after going to the bathroom; before eating; and after blowing your nose, coughing, or sneezing.
If soap and water are not readily available, use an alcohol-based hand sanitizer with at least 60% alcohol. Always wash hands with soap and water if hands are visibly dirty.
