***ATTN! Colorado and Refugee families!*** PLEASE keep in mind that many cannabis patients have underlying conditions that make them very susceptible to complications related to respiratory illness. During cold and flu season (and especially right NOW) make sure to take special precautions when in contact with or caring for those susceptible. - IF you are coughing, sneezing or have a runny nose PLEASE avoid contact with others and public places until at least 24-48hrs after acute symptoms have passed. After that time, please continue to monitor yourself and others family members for symptoms of illness and practice infection control principles. - IF you must venture out or come into contact with patients (or their family members) while displaying viral symptoms, PLEASE wear a mask especially when within 3 feet of patients and exercise FREQUENT and sound hand-washing techniques (keep hand sanitizer on you and use it when unable to immediately wash your hands). - IF your child is experiencing symptoms, PLEASE keep them home from school and inform the school of your childs symptoms and any MD recommended follow-up. School Nurses NEED to know what is happening as they are the eyes and ears of community Public Health.
