The positive individual must self-isolate until fever-free for 24 hours and additional symptoms have been improving for 24 hours (or 48 hours with nausea/vomiting/diarrhea).
COVID-19 positive individuals are encouraged to self-isolate separately from their asymptomatic household members, as is age and stage appropriate. Upon return to campus and when out in public, TPH requires that they wear a well-fitted mask for 10 days following the onset of symptoms or positive test date (whichever came first). They must avoid all non-essential activities where a mask needs to be removed (i.e. playing a wind instrument, high contact sports, swimming). They may of course remove their mask to eat and drink while maintaining as much distance as possible.
Future Testing: As per public health, individuals should not undergo COVID-19 testing (rapid antigen or molecular) for 30 days following their initial positive test. PCR testing should not be completed for 90 days following a positive test.
Household Members: Asymptomatic household members may continue with their normal routine. For 10 days following exposure, they are required to self-monitor for symptoms and isolate should any concerns present.
When at school or out in public, TPH requires that they wear a well-fitted mask for 10 days following their last contact with their positive household member. They must avoid all non-essential activities where a mask needs to be removed (i.e. playing a wind instrument, high contact sports, swimming). They may of course remove their mask to eat and drink while maintaining as much distance as possible.
