All about infectious disease control in childcare and school

Scabies does not go away by itself and should always be treated. Treatment for pregnant or breastfeeding women or children under two years of age should be administered in consultation with a doctor.

Children who attend centre-based childcare are exposed to different types of infection.

Norovirus is highly contagious. The best preventive measures are thorough hand washing with soap and water, and good kitchen hygiene at home, at school and in childcare centres.

We included seven systematic reviews of high methodological quality. Four systematic reviews summarize nine unique infection control interventions.

In this systematic review we have searched for and evaluated results from primary studies on the effect of infectious control interventions in kindergartens.
