Staying Healthy with Nurse Lori

COVID 19 UPDATE

Hello Sussex Montessori Families and Friends!

There have been some questions surrounding Covid guidelines. Below are guidelines from CDC which Sussex Montessori School has adopted.

When does the clock start?

              No Symptoms with +Positive Test            

· Day 0 is the day you were tested (not the day you received your positive test result)

· Day 1 is the first full day following the day you were tested.

· If you develop symptoms within 10 days of when you were tested, the clock restarts at day 0 on the day of symptom onset

           Symptoms with + Positive Test

· Day 0 of isolation is the day of symptoms began, regardless of when you tested positive.

· Day 1 is the first full day after the day your symptoms started

Isolation

·If you test positive for COVID-19, stay home for at least 5 days and isolate yourself from others in your home.

·You are likely most infectious during these first 5 days.

·Wear a high-quality mask if you must be around others at home and in public.

·Do not go places where you are unable to wear a mask.

·Do not travel.

·Stay home.

·Don’t share personal household items, like cups, towels, and utensils.

·Monitor your symptoms. If you have an emergency warning sign (like trouble breathing), seek emergency medical care immediately.

Return to School

You may return to school after day 5 if your symptoms are improving.

You will need to wear a mask for 5 days while in school.

If you cannot wear a mask, you will need to stay home another 5 days for a total of 10 days.

Masks can be gotten from the nurse’s office.

Please let the nurse know if you have RSV, flu, or covid. It’s important that I keep track of classroom cases.
Thank you,

Lori Short, M.S.N., M.N.M, H.C.A., R.N.
