What needs to happen for the school?

Staff and students should remain home through their illness and for 24 hours after symptoms resolve. Remove any contaminated clothing or linens immediately. Clean thoroughly any contaminated surfaces with a detergent to remove organic material (such as feces). Rinse detergent off the surface and then disinfect with an EPA-approved disinfectant for norovirus. Encourage good personal hygiene and proper hand washing techniques after going to the bathroom, before eating, and after changing diapers.
