Respiratory Illness Policies and Procedures

Flu, RSV, and COVID-19 Guidelines

The Caedmon School will be following the following guidance that provides practical recommendations to reduce the risk of common respiratory viral illnesses, including Flu, RSV, and COVID-19. According to the CDC, individuals who are sick due to respiratory illness should stay home and away from others until at least 24 hours after:

• Their overall symptoms have improved, and
• They have been fever-free for at least 24 hours without the use of fever-reducing medication (e.g., Tylenol, Advil, Motrin).

Special Consideration for Additional Recommendations

The CDC’s Respiratory Guidance suggests the following precautions:

• Individuals resuming normal activities (such as attending school or work) after recovering from a common respiratory illness like Flu, RSV, or COVID-19 are advised to continue masking, maintaining physical distancing, ensuring improved air quality, practicing good hygiene, and/or testing. You are not obligated to show proof of a negative test before returning to school.
