Answer the following questions to help you decide if you should or should not go to school/child care today.

You must screen for COVID-19 every day before going to school/child care.

Using this tool is optional and is not tracked or enforced. If your school board, child care provider, or public health unit has another screening process, you can use that instead.

How to Talk to your Children about COVID-19

Children and teens react, in part, on what they see from the adults around them. When parents and caregivers deal with COVID-19 calmly and confidently, they can provide the best support for their children. Parents can be more reassuring to others around them, especially children, if they are better prepared.

Not all children and teens respond to stress in the same way. Some common changes to watch for include:

  • Excessive crying or irritation in younger children
  • Returning to behaviours they have outgrown
  • Excessive worry or sadness
  • Unhealthy eating or sleeping habits
  • Irritability – acting out – behaviours in teens
  • Difficulty with attention and concentration
  • Unexplained headaches or body pain

Things to support your child:

  • Take time to talk with your child or teen about the COVID-19 outbreak. Ask open questions and listen.
  • Be honest. Answer questions and share facts about COVID-19 in a way that your child/teen can understand.
  • Show them how to protect themselves and their friends. Let them know it is ok for them to feel upset.
  • Limit your family’s exposure to news coverage, including social media. Children will misinterpret what they hear and can be frightened about something they do not understand.
  • Try to keep up with regular routines. If schools are closed, create a schedule for learning activities, relaxing or fun activities.
  • Be a role model. Take breaks, get plenty of sleep, exercise and eat well. Connect with friends and family members.
