ABOUT CORONAVIRUS

Dear pupils,

          You will know that  due to the coronavirus we must stay at home. It is difficult to know how long the emergency measures will go on for but we hope that things do go back to normal soon. Here you are some things you need to know about it:

            Coronaviruses (CoV) are a large family of viruses that cause illness ranging from the common cold to more severe diseases.  Common signs of infection include respiratory symptoms, fever, cough, shortness of breath and breathing difficulties.  In more severe cases, infection can cause pneumonia, severe acute respiratory syndrome, kidney failure and even death. 

          Standard recommendations to prevent infection spread include regular hand washing, covering mouth and nose when coughing and sneezing, thoroughly cooking meat and eggs. Avoid close contact with anyone showing symptoms of respiratory illness such as coughing and sneezing.
