COVID-19 GUIDANCE
The state of California has updated the guidance for Covid-19 on January 9, 2024. LACDPH has aligned with our state’s department of public health. After carefully reviewing the new LACDPH guidelines regarding Covid-19, we ask our families and staff to stay home and test if they are
exhibiting a fever, and/or Covid-19 symptoms. The symptoms may include:
Fever or chills
Cough
Fatigue
New loss of taste or smell
Congestion or runny nose
Diarrhea
Headache
Shortness of breath or difficulty breathing
Muscle or body aches
Sore throat
Nausea or vomiting
The current Covid-19 guidance includes the following:
- A 5 day isolation period is no longer required.
- A person who tests positive for Covid-19 is required to isolate if they present with symptoms and/or have a fever.
- They may leave isolation and return to work/school as long as they are fever free for 24 hours without fever-reducing medication and symptoms are mild (much improved). They will need to wear a well fitted mask through day 10. Day 0 would be the first day of symptoms.
- A person who tests positive and is symptom free will not need to isolate. They may return to work/school. They will need to wear a well fitted mask through day 10. Day 0 would be the test date.
- You can remove your mask sooner if you have two sequential negative tests at least one day apart.
Along with other illnesses like the flu or cold, we will continue to ask our staff and students to stay home when they are not feeling well and return when they are fever free for 24 hours without fever reducing medication along with much improved symptoms.
Any questions or concerns, please call Virginia Porter, Coordinator for Health Services at (818) 241-3111, Extension 1407.
