COVID-19 update

COVID-19 isolation requirements have changed.

Any student or staff member who tests positive to COVID-19 must now isolate for a minimum of 5 days instead of 7. 

If they are asymptomatic, they may return to school on day 6.

If they are symptomatic, they must remain in isolation until day 7. 

If they have symptoms after 7 days, they are strongly advised to stay home until their symptoms have resolved.

 

As an additional risk mitigation, the Department of Health strongly recommends that those leaving isolation wear a face mask when away from home, both indoors and outdoors, and when they cannot physically distance. 

Those leaving isolation on day 6 should wear a mask for 5 days but particularly the first 2 days. 

Those leaving isolation on day 7 should wear a mask for 4 days but particularly the first 2 days.

 

Those leaving isolation should consider taking a rapid antigen test before attending school.

 

*Rapid antigen tests are available from the School office.
