On October 24, President Barack Obama signed a proclamation declaring swine flu a national emergency. To help early childhood programs react to this epidemic, the Center for Disease Control and Prevention has updated its guidelines for early childhood programs. These guidelines offer detailed advice on the following recommendations:

  • Get vaccinated against the flu;
  • Stay home when sick;
  • Conduct daily health checks;
  • Separate ill children and staff;
  • Encourage hand hygiene and respiratory etiquette;
  • Perform routine environmental cleaning;
  • Encourage early treatment;
  • Consider selective early childhood program closures.
