Oxford Community Schools

We have become aware of a COVID-19 case at Oxford Crossroads Day School. The positive case is a student who was last in attendance on Friday, April 9. This case resulted in no school day quarantines, but has residential quarantines given the unique nature of the school. This is the only active case at Crossroads.

COVID- 19 is a contagious viral illness that spreads in the air through coughing, sneezing, and talking. Recent 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.

Please watch yourself for any symptoms of COVID-19 through April 23. If you develop symptoms, we urge you to get tested for COVID-19. Testing locations can be found using the COVID-19 Test Finder at https://www.michigan.gov/coronavirus. If you test positive for COVID-19 or are symptomatic and you do not wish to be tested, stay home until you have been fever-free for at least 24 hours and it has been more than ten days since the initial onset of symptoms.
