COVID-19 isolation requirements have changed
The Victorian Government has announced the end of the Pandemic Declaration and associated Pandemic Orders. Early childhood education and care (ECEC) services remain responsible for the health, safety and wellbeing of all children in their services. Glen Education services will continue to apply their COVIDSafe practices and policies and take reasonable steps to prevent the spread of COVID-19 within our services. The following settings, based on advice from the Department of Health, will apply from 11.59pm Wednesday 12 October 2022.
It is strongly recommended that children:
- who test positive to COVID-19 should stay home and isolate for 5 days
- should not attend ECEC services after 5 days if still symptomatic
- who are symptomatic but have not tested positive should not attend ECEC services.
Parents and carers should advise the service of the child’s COVID-19 positive test result. Where children become symptomatic at an ECEC service they should:
- be collected by their parents or carers
- undergo testing for COVID-19.
It is strongly recommended that staff:
- who test positive to COVID-19 stay home and isolate for 5 days
- should not attend after 5 days if still symptomatic
- who are symptomatic but have not tested positive should not attend the service
- advise their service of the positive test.
COVID-19 reporting requirements
The Department of Health recommends that a person who tests positive for COVID-19 should inform those with whom they have recently been in contact, including their workplace, ECEC service or school, and household. In line with the approach to other infectious diseases in early childhood services, if COVID-19 is identified, the service should continue to notify parents or an authorised emergency contact of children at the service (or family day care (FDC) residence or venue of the occurrence) as soon as practicable. In addition, services are recommended to display a notice stating that there has been a positive case of COVID-19 at the service premises, FDC residence or approved venue. Services should now notify the department through the National Quality Agenda IT System (NQAITS) only if there is an outbreak of COVID-19 in the service (5 or more cases within a 7-day period) or if the service is to be closed.
Face masks
The Department of Health recommends that masks should be worn by a person who is a close contact of someone who has tested positive for COVID-19 when leaving home.
Additionally, the Department of Health recommends that masks should be worn by a person who has COVID-19, for at least 7 days after a positive test, when they need to leave home.
Staff and children who are unwell
If staff or children are unwell, they are required to stay at home, unless those symptoms are known to be caused by an underlying health condition or medication. Children and staff who are experiencing COVID-19 symptoms, however mild, should also undertake a RAT or a PCR test and are strongly recommended to stay at home until they receive a negative result. As influenza and colds are becoming more prevalent, even with a negative result, children and staff should avoid ECEC settings until their symptoms resolve and they are well again.
Free influenza vaccination
As influenza is becoming more prevalent, ECEC staff and families are encouraged to get their flu vaccination.
Free influenza vaccination is available for children from 6 months to under 5 years of age and other eligible Victorians. Glen Education encourages parents to talk to their GP, local council immunisation service or community health about the influenza vaccine. Flu vaccination can also be received at the same time as a COVID-19 vaccination for people aged 5 and above.
