Anti-Stigmatization Policy
Schools shall develop an anti-stigmatization policy and integrate strategies into any awareness campaigns concerning misconceptions around COVID-19.
Schools must, as much as is possible, maintain the privacy and confidentiality of suspected or confirmed cases within the school community, and remind others to not behave in negative ways that exacerbate the victim’s feelings of exclusion already induced by isolation.
Schools shall communicate their non-stigmatization policy to students, parents and staff and encourage them to always behave in appropriate ways.
