What do you need to know about Covid-19

Covid-19 is a disease from China, and people are saying that the disease was spread by a bat. We have to wear a mask that covers our mouth and nose. The mask helps slow the spread of the virus. We have to stay at least 6 feet apart because it can spread through coughing and sneezing. Elderly people and people with underlying medical conditions are the people who are most at risk and that have been passing away. If you happen to get CoronaVirus you have to be quarantined for 14 days.(2 weeks). We can’t go to school because it is not safe yet. Los Angeles county has to be off the California watch list for approximately 2 weeks (14 days). If we get off the watch list, we get to go back to school, but we have to be in blended learning. Blended learning is when the first part of the alphabet goes Monday and Tuesday, no students go on Wednesday. The second half of the alphabet goes Thursday and Friday.
