As you have probably heard, Governor Cooper has extended Safer at Home until May 8. May. Your spots are still safe, and we will alert you when we intend to reopen. On the issue of safety, please make sure to supervise your children. Drownings have already risen in states where temperatures are high, so make sure your pools are secure, look for any other water around your property and neighborhood, and make sure you assess the risks.
As you know, Governor Cooper has ordered the closure of schools K-12 for at least the next 2 weeks. We are not part of this directive, but because we serve children, we have decided to close Little Otter as well. We did this in part because of the Governor’s directive, and also it makes sense as a responsibility to society. If isolation can flatten the curve, then as a society maybe we can stem the tide of this virus.
We are asking for our families for their help in the following steps to mitigate the risk of this virus in how it is spread: If you or your family have recently visited, passed through, or had a stopover in China, Iran, South Korea or Italy in the last 14 days, we ask you to not send your children to Little Otter until you have a note from your doctor, or have been back in the US for at least 14 days with no symptoms. If you have had contact within the last 14 days with someone from any of these areas or with someone that exhibits symptoms of the virus, we ask that you do not send your children to Little Otter until you have a note from your doctor or 14 days have elapsed. If you have not been in known contact with any of the above, you should feel confident to send your child to Little Otter Swim School.
Hand sanitizing stations have been added to our facilities, and staff is using disinfecting wipes hourly on all hard surfaces. According to the CDC (Centers for Disease Control), the most effective way to stop the spread of illnesses is to wash hands with soap and water for at least 20 seconds or use a hand sanitizer with at least 60% alcohol when soap and water are not available. Other CDC advice includes avoid touching your eyes, face and nose, teach children to appropriately cover their sneezes and coughs, stay home when anyone is feeling under the weather, and routinely clean frequently touched surfaces, such as doorknobs and countertops. Currently, Mecklenburg County Public Health reports that the immediate health risk to the general public in North Carolina is low.
