Awaiting COVID-19 Results

Until the COVID-19 test is resulted, we advise that your child and all family members remain out of work/school/camp. If a negative test is confirmed, your child will be cleared to return to camp/school once fever free for 24 hours and with improving symptoms.
If your child if COVID-19 positive or should you decide to defer COVID-19 testing (ie, assume COVID-19), your child will need to remain out of school/camps/work until the child is fever free for 24 hours AND 10 days have passed since the onset of symptoms and all symptoms are improving.

All contacts in the household will need to quarantine for an additional 7-14 days from their last exposures to the sick contact (in most cases, the day that the child is cleared for return), which could be as long 24 days total.  Once a 10-14 day quarantine is completed, there is no need for a negative test as well.

Treat your child’s symptoms as you are used to with other viral illness. We encourage plenty of fluids, use of Tylenol (and Ibuprofen if you need it ) to improve symptoms of fever/achiness/headache and close monitoring.
Please call us immediately or seek care in the Emergency room if your child:
-spikes a temperature of 105.
-looks unwell
-experiences chest pain/trouble breathing or if you observe signs of difficulty breathing
-your child fails to void (urinate) every 6-8 hours
-is lethargic and not improving with Tylenol (acetaminophen) or Motrin/Advil (ibuprofen).

If you obtain a COVID-19 test for screening purposes only, you do not need to quarantine while waiting for results.
