We are sorry to share that two more Gesher friends have tested positive for strep throat - one last night and one this morning. These children were last in school on Tuesday, May 27.
As a reminder, common symptoms of strep throat include the following:
Throat pain that usually comes on quickly Painful swallowing Red and swollen tonsils, sometimes with white patches or streaks of pus Tiny red spots on the area at the back of the roof of the mouth (soft or hard palate) Swollen, tender lymph nodes in your neck Fever Headache Rash Nausea Not all sore throats are strep, and not all strep includes a sore throat. The only certain way to diagnose strep is through a throat culture. The incubation period is 1-5 days. Please let us know if any other cases develop. Wishing our Gesher friends a refuah shlema.
Have a good rest of your evening and stay well, Ronnie and Shery
