Hi, my name is Dr. Hamidah Meghani, and I am Halton Region’s Medical Officer of Health – the doctor in your community helping to stop the coronavirus! I work with your school to make sure it’s safe for you to be there.

By now, I am sure you have heard a lot about the coronavirus or COVID-19. It’s a new virus that gets people sick and we are working with your school to make sure you are protected. This school year is going to look a little different because of this virus and I want to talk to you about the new things that you will have to do to stay healthy:
1. Wash your hands with soap and use hand sanitizer regularly.
2. Wear a mask in school if you are asked to.
3. Cover your coughs and sneezes. Use your elbow or a tissue!
4. Don’t share items like food, toys or cellphones with your friends.
5. Stay home if you are sick.
If you have questions or are unsure about how you feel, remember that you can always talk to your parents, teacher or principal.

Thank you for doing your part to protect yourself, your classmates, teachers and others at your school. Let’s continue to be kind and have a great school year!
