All school areas where the case spent time will be cleaned and disinfected before they are in use again. Our school is working with the Kern County Public Health Department to follow up... with the case and will reach out to all persons who are identified as having had close contact with the case to recommend home quarantine and COVID-19 testing. If you or your child are not contacted, it means that you or your child were not identified as exposed to the case. Please remind your child to use their face covering, stay at least 6 feet from other people, and wash their hands often with soap and water for at least 20 seconds. Symptoms of COVID-19 may appear 2-14 days after exposure to the virus and include: Fever or chills Cough Shortness of breath or difficulty breathing Fatigue Muscle or body aches Headache New loss of taste or smell Sore throat Congestion or runny nose Nausea or vomiting Diarrhea Anyone with COVID-19 symptoms should be tested. However, many infected people do not develop symptoms, which is why it is recommended that exposed people be tested whether they have symptoms or not. Ensuring the health and safety of our students, teachers, and staff members is of the utmost importance to us.
