Dear Staff Member,
We have been notified of a COVID-19 case at the Administration Building. The positive case was last present in the building on Thursday, March 11. This case resulted in one quarantine.
The building will remain open and operational. If you do not receive a specific quarantine notice as well as a phone call from a district administrator, you should report to work as scheduled. The affected office/department will undergo extensive disinfecting treatments as an additional precaution.
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 March 25. 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.
