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. Quarantine protocols vary by college and situation, but having a pre-packed quarantine bag ready just in case is much easier than asking a roommate to grab things for you. In addition to all the usuals likes clothes, school books and electronics, other things you may need in a bag include: extra phone charger, personal hygiene items, thermometer, prescription medications, tissues, masks, and Ibuprofen and/or acetaminophen for fever and body aches.
