Procedures for COVID-19 Symptoms or a Positive Test
If
a person becomes sick with COVID-19 symptoms or reports a positive
COVID-19 test, the procedures listed below will be followed:
- Immediately report the situation to Superintendent, Kyle Hart. Confidentiality will be
maintained to the greatest extent possible.
- If an employee develops COVID-19 symptoms at work, the employee will
be separated from all students, staff, or visitors, then sent home in a
safe manner. If the employee is able to self-transport, he/she will
leave the site. If the employee is not able to safely self-transport, a
family member, friend, or other method of transport will be contacted to
get the employee home or to a healthcare provider. If the employee
appears to be in medical distress, 911 will be called.
- If a student develops COVID-19 symptoms at school, the student will
be separated from all other students and staff, with the exception of
one staff member to supervise the student. This staff member will wear
PPE or a cloth face covering and maintain a distance of at least 6 feet
from the student at all times unless there is an emergency. A parent or
emergency contact will be immediately notified to pick up the student.
911 will be called if the student appears to be in medical distress.
- Any areas that were exposed to the symptomatic employee or student
for a prolonged period will be closed off for 24 hours before cleaning
and disinfecting. During that time, if feasible, staff will open windows
or outside doors to increase air circulation. After 24 hours, staff
will thoroughly clean and disinfect all surfaces in the area, per CDC guidelines.
- Staff will determine whether other employees or students may have
been exposed to the symptomatic individual within 6 feet and for a
prolonged period of time (typically longer than 15 minutes). If so,
those individuals will be notified (or, in the case of students, their
parents) of the potential exposure. Notification will recommend that
exposed individuals monitor their health closely, contact their health
care provider if possible, and self-quarantine if any symptoms develop.
- Employees or students who have developed COVID-19 symptoms or had a
positive COVID-19 test may not return to the site until either of the
following two scenarios has occurred:
Scenario one:
- At least 72
hours have passed since recovery, which is defined as: (a) resolution of
fever without the use of fever-reducing medications; and (b)
improvement in respiratory symptoms (e.g., cough, shortness of breath);
and
- At least 10 days have passed since the first symptoms emerged.
OR
Scenario two:
- There has been a resolution of fever without the use of fever-reducing medications; and
- There has been improvement in respiratory symptoms (e.g., cough, shortness of breath); and
- The
individual has received negative results of an FDA
emergency-use-authorized COVID-19 molecular assay for detection of the
virus that causes COVID-19 from at least two consecutive respiratory
specimens collected ≥ 24 hours apart (total of two negative specimens).
