Isolation & Quarantine

Isolation Vs Quarantine

Isolation = Sick: Isolation involves the separation of infected and sick individuals from healthy individuals. Anyone who has COVID-19 needs to self-isolate (stay at home) until:

At least 10 days since symptoms first appeared (or from positive test date if asymptomatic) AND
At least 24 hours with no fever without fever-reducing medication AND
Symptoms have improved

Quarantine = Question: Quarantine involves the separation of well individuals who have been exposed to someone who is either infected with COVID-19 or a probable case. Anyone who has been exposed needs to self-quarantine (stay at home except for essential functions) for 14 days from their last contact with the infected person.

What happens if we have one student/faculty test positive in the school?

The school will communicate immediately with all the community.
Student stays home until released from isolation (usually 10 days after symptom onset, 24+ hours fever-free, and improving symptoms)

Class/cohort stays home for a 14-day quarantine dating from the last day that the child with confirmed COVID-19 attended class
Entire class/cohort will work remotely for the 14-day period

What happens if we have one student/faculty have COVID-19 symptoms in the school?

The school will communicate immediately with all the community.
The student, teacher, or staff should only return to school after following the Return to School to determine how long a person needs to stay home after staying home or going home sick.

Class/cohort may be asked to stay home to quarantine (and attend remotely) until results are back for the suspected case, depending on the person’s symptoms.

What happens when a student, parent or staff member has been in direct contact with someone who has tested positive for COVID-19?
