MA Dept of Health Guidelines for Flu
To help prevent the spread of influenza-like illnesses please
 review the following recommended guidelines from the
Massachusetts Department of Public Health.


IF STUDENT HAS SYMPTOMS OF A VIRAL ILLNESS
(temperature> 100 AND any of the following-cough,
sore throat, runny nose, chills, body aches, vomiting, diarrhea)                



 
Sees doctor Sees doctor Is NOT seen by doctor
No flu test
 (in office)		 Test for flu
 (in office)		 MUST stay out of
school for 7 days
MUST stay out of
school for 7 days		   (+) result MUST
       stay out of school
      for 7 days & doctor
       will test for H1N1 flu
            if student is “high risk”
         
                             

*The only reason a student with these symptoms can return in less than 7 days is if there is documentation from the doctor of an illness other than the flu (such as ear infection, strep throat, etc).  The student must still be symptom free for 24 hours before returning to school.  Thank you for your cooperation.

**Proper hand washing & cough etiquette is essential in preventing the spread of the disease.
