#COVID19 lives in the lungs of people with the virus, even if they don’t have symptoms. If you can’t stay home, wear a mask, stay 6 feet apart, and wash hands.
The Cherokee ISD campus will be closed through the remainder of the week (4/6-4/10). Unfortunately this will affect meal distribution for the remainder of the week. When Cherokee ISD resumes, we will post it here.

#COVID19 lives on droplets in the lungs of people with the virus, even if they don’t have symptoms. When infected people breathe, the virus enters the air. If you can’t #StayHome, wear a mask/scarf/bandana, stay 6 feet apart, and wash your hands. #DontGoViral
Los síntomas comunes de #COVID19 son fiebre, tos seca y dificultad para respirar.Si tiene síntomas leves, llame a su médico y quedate en casa.Si desarrolla síntomas graves, como dificultad para respirar o presión en el pecho, busque atención médica de inmediato. #StayHome

Before social distancing, each person with #COVID19 spread the virus to 2.5 more people. At that pace, most would get it, and many more people would die. But we can slow the spread. That’s why we all #StayHome. #ApartTogether we slow coronavirus.
