Viruses make

people poorly.

The Coronavirus is a new

virus that is making

people around the world

poorly.

It can also

be called Covid-19.

People who have

Coronavirus might

have a cough.

People who have

Coronavirus might

feel very hot.

To be safe, the Prime Minister

has said people who

have a cough or are too

hot must stay at home

Because of this, you

might not go to school or

might be sent home.

If this happens you

will need to stay at

home for 7 days.

This does not

mean that you

have Coronavirus.

It means that

we are keeping

you safe.

Most people

stay at home to

get better.

Some people might

go to hospital to

get better.

Staying

SafeReady, Steady, Communicate.

Germs spread

Coronavirus.

You can help to

stop germs

spreading.

To stay safe,

you need to

wash your hands.

Use soap and scrub

in between your fingers

and all-over your hands

lots of times in the day.

Try not to

touch your face

or mouth.

If you do,

wash your hands again.

Throw tissues in

the bin and then

wash your hands.

If you sneeze or

cough,

wash your hands.

If you do not

have soap and water

you can use hand sanitiser.

Wash, wash, wash your hands, scrub them nice

and clean.

Scrub them here and scrub them there and

scrub them in between.

What if

School closes?Ready, Steady, Communicate.

The Prime Minister

might decide to

close school

If this happens,

things will

change.

You will not

go to school. You

will stay at home.

You will not

be able to go

outside.

The teachers will put

some work on the

website for you to do.

When it is safe,

you will

go back to school.

We do not know

how long school

will be closed for.

When we know,

you will

know.
