“You should isolate for 5 days after your symptoms started and until you have no fever and your other symptoms have improved over the past 24 hours.
You should also avoid non-essential visits to high-risk settings and non-essential contact with individuals at high risk of severe outcomes for 10 days after your symptoms started. As well, you should wear a well-made, well-fitted mask during this 10-day period if/when you have contact with other people.”
Example: Symptoms start on a Wednesday followed by a positive test. Staff can return to work Tuesday provided they have no fever and their other symptoms have improved over the past 24 hours. Even if they feel better they need to stay home the 5 days. Wear a mask Tuesday to Friday.
• Hand hygiene procedures will continue this year. • Cleaning and disinfecting will continue, especially high touch areas. Deep cleaning will occur when students are not present.
