Date: November 2nd, 2020
Subject: Coronavirus Confirmed Case
Dear Families/Students/Staff,
We were notified by the Minnesota Department of Health (MDH) of a lab confirmed case of COVID-19 (novel coronavirus) in a member of the Brandon-Evansville student body with an exposure date of November 1st, 2020. The exposure was at the Brandon- Evansville High School. This is our 4th confirmed case, and the third district family.
We have worked with local health officials to identify those who had close contact with the case, and have communicated with them individually. Students that were identified have been sent home and quarantined. The risk of exposure for other individuals present in the building on that date is no greater than the risk of contracting the virus in the general community. After consulting with MDH, Horizon Public Health, and the regional resource team, we will continue in our present learning model for now.
If you were not identified to have close contact with the positive case you should still monitor for symptoms of illness, but do not need to stay home unless symptoms develop. If symptoms develop, stay home and consult with your health care provider to determine if medical evaluation is needed.
We understand that this may create unease in our community.
We have taken action to clean and sanitize the facility and are working closely with MDH to monitor the situation. We are asking all members of our community to minimize the spread of illness by taking the following actions:
· Protect yourself and others by wearing a face covering when it is hard to stay 6 feet away from people; washing your hands often with soap and water; covering your cough and sneeze; and avoiding touching your face with unwashed hands.
· If you are sick, stay home from child care and other activities.
· Be prepared in case you get sick and need to stay home. Keep enough food, regular prescription drugs, and other necessities on hand in case you need to stay home and are not able to go out easily.
· Frequently clean all commonly touched surfaces (e.g., telephones, doorknobs, countertops, etc.).
If symptoms develop, stay home and consult with your health care provider to determine if medical evaluation is needed.
If you are experiencing symptoms of COVID-19, MDH recommends:
1. Stay at home for at least 10 days, and for 24 hours with no fever and improvement of other symptoms (your fever should be gone for 24 hours without using fever-reducing medicine).
2. Use the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention website on
how to care for yourself at home; see What to Do If You Are Sick:
(https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-ncov/if-you-are-sick/steps-when-sick.html)
3. If your household contacts were exposed to you while you had
symptoms, they should try to stay home as much as possible for 14 days.
This is a challenging time and I know many of you may be feeling stress or anxiety. We will get through this together as a community, and will be stronger when we emerge.
