If you have symptoms of COVID-19:

Anyone who feels unwell should remain home, check their temperature, and take a COVID-19 rapid antigen test. This includes new onset of respiratory symptoms such as runny nose, nasal congestion, or sore throat. As always, a temperature of above 100 degrees requires being out of school for at least 24 hours past this temperature without taking fever-reducing medications.

If you test positive for COVID-19:

Anyone who tests positive is instructed to stay home until they feel well, are without fever for 24 hours (without taking fever-reducing medications), and symptoms (cough, runny nose, etc.) are improving and manageable. 

If asymptomatic or symptoms are resolving and have been fever-free without the use of fever-reducing medicine for 24 hours, the individual can return to school. There is no requirement to conduct additional rapid antigen testing as part of returning to campus. 
 
Student-athletes of the current season who test positive are required to contact the Athletic Trainers for instructions about gradual return-to-play.
