A reminder from Public Health and as stated in the WRDSB parent handbook.

Please stay home:

• When sick or if in contact with someone who is sick.
• Feel sick or have symptoms of COVID-19.
• Had close contact with someone who is ill with a cough and/or fever.
• Have anyone in the household who has been in close contact in the last 14 days with someone who is being investigated or confirmed to have COVID-19.
• Have travelled outside of Canada in the last 14 days.
• Had close contact with someone who has travelled outside of Canada in the last 14 days and who is ill.

I would like to call your attention to this line:

“Have anyone in the household who has been in close contact in the last 14 days with someone who is being investigated or confirmed to have COVID-19”

If ANYONE in your home or bubble is symptomatic or being tested for COVID-19, the whole family must stay home until test results come back negative or you have self-isolated for 14 days. Please do not send an asymptomatic child to school if someone you have been exposed to is at risk.

This is a community commitment and we must stick together.

Stay safe. Wash your hands. Wear your masks.
