Staff of Antonian College Preparatory High School learned this morning, October 5, 2020, that a student in the 9th grade has tested positive for COVID-19. The child was last on campus on Saturday, October 3, 2020 for an extracurricular activity. The student was tested and received results today.
We have been in communication with the families of several students who were believed to have "close contact" (as defined by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention) with the student, advising them to keep their children at home and to watch for any signs or symptoms of COVID-19.
Because of the physical distancing of desks in classrooms, the wearing of masks, and sanitizing of hands when entering and leaving the classroom, there are no further recommendations or restrictions at this time. We will continue to monitor temperatures of the students, faculty, and staff as they enter the building on a daily basis.
Please keep in mind the symptoms of COVID-19: fever, chills, shortness of breath, cough, fatigue, sore throat, new loss of taste or smell, and/or nausea/diarrhea. If your child develops any symptoms of any illness, please keep your child at home and contact the child's physician for further instructions.
Please pray for the speedy and complete recovery of the student affected by COVID-19.
