tests positive for Covid-19, the following protocols apply:
1. 1. MCA student or staff member must
quarantine for (minimum) 10 days after the onset of symptoms or a positive
Covid test, whichever occurs first. The student or staff
member may return after 10 days in quarantine without having another Covid test
(if fever-free for the 72 hours just prior to returning without
fever-reducing medications). May return to school on the 11th day.
-OR-
2.
2. If the MCA student or staff member
wants to return to school early (prior to the 11th day after the standard
10-day quarantine), the student or staff member may return on “Day 7” if
the student or staff member has a negative lab test taken at least 5
days after the onset of symptoms or a positive Covid test result AND if
fever-free for at least 72 hours without fever-reducing medications.
· - Negative lab tests
must either be a “rapid” or “PCR” test from a lab (example:
doctor’s office, urgent care clinic, CVS testing site, etc.) and NOT an
at-home self-test kit.
· -Proof of the negative lab test
result is required to be presented for early return to school.
The written test results may be presented in person or via email to the
appropriate school’s attendance administrator or to the school nurse.
