Dear DCDS Upper School Community,
Today we were made aware of one positive COVID-19 case:
We remain committed to transparency and informing you of the "School Associated Cases" that may impact your child. The students and employees exposed to this individual have been notified and received a separate email letter providing specific guidance.
COVID- 19 is a contagious viral illness that spreads in the air through coughing, sneezing, and talking. Information suggests COVID-19 is spread by people who are not showing symptoms. It may be possible that a person can get COVID-19 by touching a surface or object that has the virus on it, then touching their own mouth, nose, or possibly their eyes. Symptoms include fever, 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, and diarrhea.
For additional information regarding COVID-19, please visit the OCHD website at https://www.oakgov.com/health. If you have any questions, please feel free to contact the DCDS COVID Coordinator, Beth Hiemstra at bhiemstra@dcds.edu.
