Description

Schools are facing major challenges during the COVID-19 pandemic. Our COVID-19 and Asthma Toolkit for Schools was created for school administrators, nurses, and staff to create environments that protect students and staff with asthma while preventing the spread of the coronavirus (SARS-CoV-2) that causes COVID-19.

This toolkit is designed as a supplement to current local, district and Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) guidelines. It includes:

  • Easy-to-use checklists schools can use daily to ensure protocols are in place to manage asthma and minimize the spread of the coronavirus
  • The basics of asthma management
  • Guidance on stocking and administering quick-relief medications
  • Guidance on the use of masks, physical distancing and access to handwashing stations
  • A sample letter for school nurses asking parents for an inhaler and spacer to be kept at school
  • Resources for administrators, school nurses, teachers, and facilities staff

The toolkit’s respiratory symptom chart, Is It COVID-19, the Flu, a Cold, Allergies, or Asthma? (PDF available in English and Spanish here), is a quick-reference guide to differentiate between COVID-19 symptoms and other respiratory illnesses and asthma.
