Information about the new Coronavirus (Covid 19)

March 14, 2020

Lieliputs is concerned with the new coronavirus and the Bundesrat’s decision to close all schools until 3 April. We are guided by the recommendations of the Federal Office of Public Health and the responsible cantonal departments. For us, the explanations regarding schools, day care centers and childcare facilities are particularly relevant.

Due to the small size of our classes and groups, we have decided to continue to offer our classes for now; however, we will take some additional measures to curb the spread of the virus to our school and children.

We will put greater emphasis on the conduct of hygiene. These are some of the measures in force at Lieliputs:

-       Hand sanitizers will be used when entering the premises

-       Greeting will be via the ‘Wuhan greeting’

-       All toys that are ‘chewing favorites’ will be removed and locked away

This is an offer from Lieliputs for those parents who feel comfortable to continue sending their children to our playgroup. However, we leave it up to you to decide if you want to take up the offer and fully understand should you decide to take a break for now.

General hygiene  instructions:

-       Wash your hands thoroughly with soap and water several times a day (at least 20 seconds).

-       Cough or sneeze in the crook of the arm or, if available, in a tissue and dispose of it in a closed waste bin after use.

-       Avoid shaking hands and avoid close contact with people with acute respiratory diseases.

-       Stay at home if you have a fever or cough.

-       If you have reasonable grounds to suspect that you or a family member has / is suffering from the coronavirus and you need medical help, you must first call a doctor or the medical hotline (0800 33 66 55). Always call before you go to a doctor's office or hospital.

-       Take immune boosters (Vitamin C and Zink)
