Coronavirus pandemic update

The Childcare Network / Child Care Aware of Northern Virginia staff have been busy answering questions and gathering information during this challenging time. We want you to know that we are available to help you. We can be reached by phone and/or email. If you call, and no one answers, please leave a message. While the outbreak intensifies, we have stopped doing on-site visits.

Child Care and Preschool Pandemic Influenza Planning Checklist

The CDC has provided a printable checklist for childcare providers and programs to ensure you are prepared for a pandemic.

From the document:

A pandemic is a global disease outbreak. A flu pandemic occurs when a new influenza virus emerges that people have little or no immunity to and for which there may be no vaccine. The disease spreads easily personto-person and causes serious illness. It can sweep across the country and around the world very quickly. It is hard to predict when the next flu pandemic will occur or how bad it will be.
