Respiratory Virus Update
As we get the new school year underway, I would like to remind parents and caregivers to be diligent and mindful of respiratory symptoms in children.
The CDC has updated their COVID-19 isolation guidelines. Please click the link to read the updated guidelines. The attached picture is also a snapshot of what the new recommendations are.
Students who test positive for COVID no longer have to remain home and isolate for 5 days, but can return to school once the symptoms have improved AND they have been fever free for 24 hours, unmedicated.
Please feel free to contact me if you have questions regarding the new guidelines.
