ATTN: PARENTS WITH COLLEGE BOUND STUDENTS:
To my college parents whose children are starting to return to campuses this is key until parents can get to their babies...
If you have a child going to college and living in a dorm, have them pack an emergency COVID-19 bag in case they test positive and have to quarantine.
In these uncertain times, the possibility exists that your child may test positive, and have to leave his or her dorm for a quarantine location. It's probably a VERY GOOD idea to have a pre-packed quarantine bag in his or her closet. It would be so much easier to ask a roommate to grab "the blue Nike bag in my closet and my laptop" than to try to figure out what he or she will want/need for two weeks.
COVID-19 QUARANTINE BAG:
*Extra cell phone charger
*List of important peoplesβ phone numbers written out,
*list of any allergies
*2 or more complete changes of comfy clothes: sweats, PJ Pants, T's, Fuzzy Socks
*Fleece throw (take the tiniest one in the house and squish it into an XL Baggie, then force the extra air out.)
*Thermometer
*Body Lotion/baby oil
*Feminine Hygiene,
*Toothbrush, Toothpaste,
*Shampoo/Conditioner,
*Hair comb/brush, Hair Ties
*Cough Drops
*Tylenol to bring fever down, help with aches
*Vicks Vap O Rub
*Prescription medications (optional Mucinex DM or Robitussin Cough & Chest Congestion)
*Tissues
*Snacks
*A few Masks
*hand sanitizer
*disinfectant wipes and cleaners
*Disposable gloves
*Some sort of distraction-even a coloring book and crayons or a deck of cards,
* I also like the powdered Gatorade to mix in water.
Good luck to all of the college students and also to their parents!
Stay healthy.
