BETHEL PUBLIC SCHOOLS COVID GUIDANCE/PROTOCOLS:
RE: Updated Respiratory Virus Guidance
As of Friday, March 1, 2024, the CDC has updated its COVID-19 isolation guidance to reflect
improvements in patient outcomes with existing effective treatments and vaccines.
After testing positive for COVID-19, individuals may go back to normal activities
including school and work when the following are both true for 24 hours:
1. Symptoms are getting better overall and
2. No fever without the use of fever-reducing medications.
Parents should inform their child’s school nurse if their child tests positive for
COVID-19 or other communicable illnesses such as flu, strep, pneumonia, norovirus and RSV.
