COVID-19 is a contagious respiratory illness caused by infection with a new coronavirus (called SARS-CoV-2, the virus that causes COVID-19). Seasonal allergies triggered by airborne pollen can lead to seasonal allergic rhinitis, which affects the nose and sinuses, and seasonal allergic conjunctivitis, which affects the eyes.


COVID-19 and seasonal allergies share many symptoms, but there are some key differences between the two. For example, COVID-19 can cause fever, which is not a common symptom of seasonal allergies. The image below compares symptoms caused by allergies and COVID-19.
Because some of the symptoms of COVID-19 and seasonal allergies are similar, it may be difficult to tell the difference between them, and you may need to get a test to confirm your diagnosis.


Our region remains at the high risk level for COVID-19.  During this time we continue to adhere to the guidelines provided by the Bergen County Department of Health. Please keep your child home and notify Nurse Alyssa if:

• your child is experiencing symptoms of COVID-19 or is being tested for COVID-19 (remain home until test results are received).
• your child has had close contact (has been within 6 feet of an infected person for 15 minutes or more during a 24 hour period) with a person with COVID-19.
• someone in your household is diagnosed with or being tested for COVID-19 (remain home until test results are received).
• someone in your household has COVID-19 compatible symptoms (remain home until the test results are received)
• your child has traveled outside of New Jersey to any country or U.S. state, with the exception  of New York, Connecticut, Pennsylvania and Delaware ( a 10 day quarantine or a full 7 day quarantine with a negative COVID-19 test is required upon return).

These measures in addition to washing your hands, social distancing, wearing a mask and staying home while sick will help fight the spread of COVID-19 both in school and the community.  Please reach out with any questions or concerns!
