As you may have seen in the media, Massachusetts is anticipating cases of enterovirus D68 (EV-D68) in the coming weeks. In response to this, the Whitman-Hanson Regional School District has consulted with the school district physician, Dr. Joseph Asiaf, on the matter. The district has also received a recent clinical advisory issued by the Massachusetts Department of Public Health regarding the virus. The advisory notes hand-washing as an effective means of infection control. In the coming weeks, the district will continue to encourage staff and students to engage in hand-washing as much as possible, along with any other standard precautions to control the spread of this virus.
Thank You.
