Dear Parents and faculty,
Please find the current Ohio Department of Health guidelines for COVID illness and exposure. CTA will be following these guidelines. After reading the guidelines, please refer to the Frequently Asked Questions below to gain further clarification.
1. How long do you have to be fever free (temp < 100 degrees) before returning to school? 24 hours
2. When is day 1? The day you or your child test positive for COVID is considered day zero.
3. How old do you have to be to need a booster to be fully vaccinated? 16 years old (this may change in the coming weeks to 12 as CDC recommendations change)
4. Do all COVID close contacts need to test on day 5 after exposure? While this is recommended by the CDC if possible, CTA only requires testing of household close contacts on day 5 after exposure in order to be in school.
5. Do you have to wear a mask outside if you are on day 6 thru 10 after exposure to COVID or after having COVID? Masks are required to be worn at all times except when eating by those who are either on day 6 – 10 after exposure or after illness.
6. Can my child return to school on day 6 after COVID if they still have symptoms?
A parent must speak to one of our nurses on day 5 of COVID illness before returning to school on day 6 regardless of symptoms.
