The Ocean County Health Department (OCHD) recognizes the challenges many schools face 1) identifying and implementing current guidance for schools to protect staff and students from COVID-19 and 2) delivering programs to students in a safe and effective manner. To help with these challenges, the OCHD has compiled current COVID standards, guidance and health education resources so that administrators and school staff have a one-stop shop for what they need at their fingertips.
The Daycares, Schools, and Higher Education (DSH) Team prioritizes collaboration, education, and training to strengthen public health and minimize infectious disease transmission in daycares, schools, and higher education institutions.
