Coronavirus Prevention FAQs

What does North Carolina Virtual Academy (NCVA) recommend I do to protect my student and family from coronavirus infection?

Like you, NCVA and K12 are concerned with the ongoing coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic. To safeguard your family and prevent the spread of the virus, K12 strongly recommends following the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) prevention guidelines, some of which are outlined below:

CDC’s Recommendations for Slowing the Spread

• Get a COVID-19 vaccine when it is available to you.
• Avoid crowds and poorly ventilated indoor spaces.
• Wash your hands often with soap and water. Use hand sanitizer if soap and water aren’t available.
• Always cover your mouth and nose with a tissue when you cough or sneeze or use the inside of your elbow, and do not spit.
• Monitor your health daily. Watch for fever, cough, shortness of breath, or other symptoms of COVID-19.
