Welcome to Al-Madinah School

 

Getting our children back in school successfully and safely is our biggest goal. Our re-opening plan prioritizes the health and safety of the communities we serve. We kindly thank all the families that have shared their feedback on our Re-opening Parent Survey. This was not an easy decision to make as we are trying to meet each and every family's needs. With the uncertainty and challenges that this school year might bring, we firmly believe that with effective communication, cooperation and support we will be successful. We pray that Allah SWT keeps our families and communities safe.

What is the difference between Influenza (Flu) and COVID-19?

Influenza (Flu) and COVID-19 are both contagious respiratory illnesses, but they are caused by different viruses. COVID-19 is caused by infection with a new coronavirus (called SARS-CoV-2) and flu is caused by infection with influenza viruses. Because some of the symptoms of flu and COVID-19 are similar, it may be hard to tell the difference between them based on symptoms alone, and testing may be needed to help confirm a diagnosis. Flu and COVID-19 share many characteristics, but there are some key differences between the two.

While more is learned every day, there is still a lot that is unknown about COVID-19 and the virus that causes it. This page compares COVID-19 and flu, given the best available information to date.
