Health and Safety Considerations ● Based upon guidance from CDC, IDPH, and ISBE ● Impossible to eliminate the risk of transmission ● No single recommendation or practice will be THE solution ● Combined impact to mitigate, to the extent possible ● Feasible, Practical, and Acceptable
Protocol for Symptoms or Positive Tests ● Individuals with any symptoms of COVID-19 must remain home ○ Cough ○ Fatigue ○ Fever of 100.4˚ or higher ○ Chills ○ Nausea or vomiting ○ New loss of taste or smell ○ Sore throat ○ Shortness of breath; difficulty breathing ● Quarantine/Isolation spaces for students who present with symptoms ● Staff who present with COVID-19 symptoms will leave the building immediately
Protocols for Symptoms or Positive Tests - COVID19 As mandated by ISBE/IDPH, staff or students who have tested positive or are suspected of having the COVID-19 virus should seek medical attention, self-isolate, and follow CDC guidelines for discontinuation of isolation. Individuals who have had close contact (within 6 feet, masked or unmasked, for more than 15 cumulative minutes) with an individual who has tested positive for COVID-19 or is suspected of having COVID-19 infection should isolate and monitor for symptoms for 14-days. ● Potential transition to Remote Learning ● Full school closure?
