Posted by Cheryl Irwin-Bass on 1/13/2022 3:00:00 PM
On Tuesday, January 11, 2022, the Hempfield School Board discussed the District’s Health and Safety Plan and effective Friday, January 14, 2022, the following COVID-related protocols will go into effect:
- Hempfield remains mask optional, except when students/staff are on a school bus.
- If an individual is sick, exhibiting COVID-19 symptoms, or exhibiting symptoms related to other illnesses, the individual MUST stay home, and they are not permitted to attend school or school-related activities.
COVID POSITIVE
- If an individual is COVID+ and has symptoms, they MUST isolate for at least 5 days from the onset of symptoms.
- If an individual is COVID+ and asymptomatic, they MUST isolate for at least 5 days from the date the COVID-19 test was performed.
- If an individual has COVID-19, they may return to school on or after day 6 of symptom onset, if:
- The individual is asymptomatic, or their symptoms are improving and
- The individual is fever-free for at least 24 hours and not taking fever-reducing medication.
- It is strongly recommended that the individual returning to school early from isolation continues to wear a mask through day 10.
- If the individual’s symptoms are not improving or new symptoms arise, the individual MUST continue to isolate.
CLOSE CONTACT
- If a vaccinated or unvaccinated individual is identified as a close contact to someone who is COVID+, they may stay in school and participate in all school related activities if:
- They remain asymptomatic, meaning they have no COVID-19 symptoms, they are not sick, or they do not have symptoms related to other illnesses.
- It is strongly recommended that the identified close contact wears a mask for 10 days from the date of exposure.
