What is the best way to be sure people who have flu-like symptoms or 2009 H1N1 flu do not go to school?
Parents and guardians should monitor their children every morning for fever and flu-like symptoms (fever of 100°F or greater, cough, sore throat, body aches, headache, chills, fatigue or possible diarrhea or vomiting). Staff should check themselves for fever and flu-like symptoms as well. Students and staff with fever and/or flu-like symptoms should stay home from school or work for at least 24 hours after symptoms have subsided or the fever is gone without the use of fever-reducing medicine.
