A Message From Your Northern Nurses
Following data from the Burlington County Health Department, trends show we may expect an increase in the number of Flu, COVID and all respiratory infections after the holiday season.
Please do your part by carefully monitoring your student and keeping him/her home for any sick symptoms.
Worrisome symptoms are cough, fever, breathing difficulty AND 2 or more symptoms combined such as congestion, headache, sore throat, muscle aches etc.
Please do not send students with sick symptoms to school and either:
Take to your doctor for clearance OR
Use a home COVID test (ideally 1 negative test and a second 48 hours later)
AND - Please communicate with your student's school nurse.
We must track the number of COVID and Flu cases in our community and we will work with you and Administration to ensure students home sick have excused absences.
Wishing you all a wonderful and safe holiday season!
Burlington County began offering both the single COVID-19 test as well as a combined COVID-19/Flu test at the testing site at Willingboro Towne Center, 4390 Rt 130 North, Willingboro, as of December 12, 2022. Test results are generally back within 48 hours. Insurance information is collected, but people without insurance are still eligible for testing.
