New Covid-19 Screening Update | http://had.scdsb.on.ca/about-us/news/school-news/208 | New Covid-19 Screening Update | <p>Each day, families are asked to ensure that their child(ren) complete the COVID-19 school screening
tool prior to coming to school.
In an effort to strengthen health and safety measures and help reduce the spread of COVID-19, the
criteria in the provincial COVID-19 school screening tool has been updated by the Chief Medical
Officer of Health.
The updated provincial direction states that students and staff with any new or worsening symptoms
of COVID-19 (as indicated in the screening tool), even those with only one symptom, must stay home
until:
They receive a negative COVID-19 test result;
They receive an alternative diagnosis by a health care professional; or,
It has been 10 days since their symptom onset and they are feeling better.
In addition, all asymptomatic household contacts of symptomatic individuals are required to
quarantine until the symptomatic household member receives a negative COVID-19 test result or
receives an alternative diagnosis by a health care professional.
If the symptomatic individual tests positive, or is not tested and does not receive an alternative
diagnosis from a health care professional, the symptomatic individual must isolate (including from
household members) for 10 days from symptom onset, and all household contacts must isolate until
14 days from their last contact with the symptomatic individual.
The updated COVID-19 school screening tool is available on the Ontario government’s website here:
https://covid-19.ontario.ca/school-screening/.
Thank you for your ongoing support and cooperation. <br></p> | | | |
