Thanksgiving is a time when many families travel long distances to celebrate together. Travel increases the chance of getting and spreading the virus that causes COVID-19. Staying home is the best way to protect yourself and others. If you must travel, please remember if you travel to a state other than New Hampshire, or Vermont, you must quarantine for 14 days or get tested prior/ or upon return. Please remain quarantined until you receive test results and submit them to your school nurse. Please let us know if you have any questions. We are here to help. Here are some tips to remain healthy during the upcoming holiday season: Wear a mask in public settings, like on public and mass transportation, at events and gatherings, and anywhere you will be around other people. Avoid close contact by staying at least 6 feet apart (about 2 arms’ length) from anyone who is not from your household. Wash your hands often with soap and water for at least 20 seconds or use hand sanitizer (with at least 60% alcohol). Avoid contact with anyone who is sick. Avoid touching your eyes, nose, and mouth.
