Exclusion Guidelines- AHHH

Specialties School

Published

Alright y'all, let's get to the nitty gritty. What Sx are you excluding?
Direction from our local Health Dept (OH) is to exclude for ANY symptoms, and then goes on to list eeeeverything under the sun. I mean, EVERYTHING. Congestion, runny nose, headache, nausea, fatigue...
So I brought this up to our Health Commissioner during a county wide SN conference call and he didn't even touch base on it. I'm in a PK-1 building that is starting out at 100% 5d/wk, so that applies to pretty much my entire student body on any given day. Between little people's anxiety, allergies, adjusting to waking up early ? I wouldn't have anyone in my building!... but that's a discussion no one is ready for ?

I'm in MA, and they sent us a pretty detailed chart actually. 

Go here: http://www.doe.mass.edu/covid19/on-desktop.html and click on the first two links. Granted, it told them a while to compile it this way, but still seems to be better than some other states I'm finding. 

 

WOW! So planning and guidelines CAN be done?! I have spent most of this morning looking over all the resources organized by Massachusetts and am blown away. Thank you @JenTheSchoolRN this information makes my Type-A heart so happy!!
