During this COVID 19 occurence and spike, we strive to reach our clients and their parents to find out how else we can help. In the absence of our regular activities, tutorial groups and life skills group, we look for ways to engage our clients in on line activities.

We provide our clients with their personal grooming and health supply needs. We look forward to their online posts on at home life skills with their families. While what we donate cannot be compared to massive government stimulus, we hope that our small way of helping would be enough to meet the needs of our individual clients.

Symptoms of COVID-19 can vary from person to person. Symptoms may also vary in different age groups. Some of the more commonly reported symptoms include:

• new or worsening cough

• shortness of breath or difficulty breathing

• temperature equal to or over 38°C

• feeling feverish

• chills

• fatigue or weakness

• muscle or body aches

• new loss of smell or taste

• headache

• gastrointestinal symptoms (abdominal pain, diarrhea, vomiting)

• feeling very unwell

Children have been more commonly reported to have abdominal symptoms, and skin changes or rashes.

In severe cases, infection can lead to death.

Symptoms may take up to 14 days to appear after exposure to COVID-19.

Evidence indicates that the virus can be transmitted to others from someone who is infected but not showing symptoms. This includes people who:

• have not yet developed symptoms (pre-symptomatic)

• never develop symptoms (asymptomatic)

While experts know that these kinds of transmissions are happening among those in close contact or in close physical settings, it is not known to what extent. This means it is extremely important to follow the proven preventative measures.
