Examples of close contacts include household members, people who have been in direct physical contact or belong to the same classroom\/cohort, and people who have spent more than 15 minutes together within 2 metres or 6 feet of each other, such as while sharing a meal. Brief interactions, like walking past someone in a hallway are not generally considered close contact situations. APH will notify all low risk and high risk contacts via letter to provide further guidance and direction.<\/p>\n<p>APH reassures families from Thessalon P.S. that if they do not receive a low risk and\/or high risk contact letter, their child is not considered a close contact of the person who tested positive for COVID-19, in which case APH does not recommend having their child tested unless they are showing symptoms of COVID-19.<\/p>\n<p>We are working with the school community to review and confirm important practices to reduce the potential spread of COVID-19, including:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Be fully vaccinated by receiving 2 doses of COVID-19 vaccine if you are eligible<\/li>\n<li>Always practice physical distancing<\/li>\n<li>Wear a mask or face covering in all indoor public settings<\/li>\n<li>Wear a mask or face covering outdoors if physical distancing cannot be maintained<\/li>\n<li>Wash your hands often with soap and water, or use an alcohol-based hand sanitizer.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Anyone 12+ who needs a COVID-19 vaccine can book an appointment or show up at a walk-in, pop-up, or mobile COVID-19 vaccine clinic.<\/p>\n<p>For more information about COVID-19 please visit the APH website by following this link.
