Guadalupe Centers Charter Schools COVID-19 Dashboard
The District's primary objective is to minimize any potential COVID-19 exposure to our students and staff while fostering a positive learning environment.
Definition of Terms:
Quarantine - To keep someone who might have been exposed to the virus away from others. It includes individuals who may have been exposed to COVID-19 or who have recently had close contact with someone who has COVID-19.
Close Contact - Individuals who were within 6 feet of an infected person for at least 15 minutes starting from 48 hours prior to the onset of symptoms in the person with COVID-19 OR a positive COVID-19 test in an asymptomatic person.
Weekly Cases - GES Staff & Students
All cases of staff and students who were found to be either COVID-19 positive or who have been identified as a Close Contact to a COVID-19 positive individual. Close Contacts could either be associated with an GES student or staff member or with an individual not affiliated with the District (e.g., a student may be quarantined because their parent is COVID-19 positive).
The District is tracking and reporting all cases of quarantined students and staff since we are required to ensure that those quarantined return to school or work when safe to do so.
