Student Health and Hygiene Reminders Letter

Dear HAS Parents and Guardians,

We hope this message finds you well.

As COVID-19 cases have started to rise again, and with summer vacation just around the corner, many families may be planning trips both locally and abroad. With increased travel and movement, the risk of virus transmission also goes up.

To help keep your children healthy and safe, we kindly remind you of the following precautions:

• Wearing Masks

  According to the Taiwan CDC, it’s recommended to wear a mask when visiting medical facilities, crowded indoor spaces, or when using public transportation. If you or your child has a fever or respiratory symptoms, please make sure to wear a mask and avoid going out unless absolutely necessary.

• For Children with Weaker Immune Systems

  If your child has a weaker immune system, we suggest they continue wearing a mask in the classroom to better protect themselves.

• Wash hands often and practice good hygiene

  Regularly washing hands with soap or using hand sanitizer is one of the best ways to prevent the spread of viruses. Please remind your child to always wash their hands before meals and help them build good hygiene habits—it’s a simple way to protect themselves and others.

At school, we will continue to maintain strict cleaning and disinfection measures to ensure a safe and comfortable learning environment for all students.

Thank you for your support and cooperation. Let’s work together to protect our children’s health and help them enjoy a safe and happy summer break!

Warm regards,

Hsinchu American School

親愛的家長及監護人您好

隨著近期新冠肺炎疫情再度升溫，正值暑假即將展開，許多家庭也規劃了國內外旅遊行程。在人員流動頻繁的情況下，病毒的傳播風險也隨之提高。

為了守護孩子的健康與安全，敬請家長留意以下幾點防疫建議：

• 配戴口罩

  依據衛生福利部疾病管制署（CDC）建議，一般民眾於進入醫療照護機構、人潮擁擠的室內場所，或搭乘大眾運輸工具時，應配戴口罩。若有發燒或呼吸道症狀者，更應在外出時佩戴口罩，並儘量避免非必要的外出活動。

• 體質較弱的孩子

  若孩子本身免疫力較低，建議在教室內也可佩戴口罩，以加強自我保護，降低感染風險。

• 勤洗手、重衛生

  經常以肥皂或乾洗手清潔雙手，是預防病毒感染最有效的方法之一。請家長協助提醒孩子，飯前務必洗手，養成良好的衛生習慣，保護自己也保護他人。

學校方面也將持續落實校園清潔與消毒工作，為孩子們提供一個安全、安心的學習環境。

感謝您的配合與支持，讓我們一同為孩子們的健康努力，迎接一個愉快的暑假！

敬祝

平安順心
