COVID-19 SCHOOL RE-ENTRANCE PROGRAM

PROGRAM OVERVIEW

Designed to navigate the multitude of at times contradictory guidelines from public officials, CDC, AAP, WHO, OSHA, and local health officials, the program ensures the school does its part to prevent COVID-19 and is fully prepared should there be a case. The program provides daily monitoring of COVID-19 and evolves just as the pandemic does. A pediatrician, working with a team of top local pediatric experts in infectious disease, allergy -immunology, pulmonology and emergency medicine, is dedicated to providing your school with the daily guidance needed to protect the school and provide peace of mind.

CDC guidelines

According to the CDC guidelines updated 5/14/20 schools should not re-open unless they are able to implement coronavirus screening protocols that evaluate employees and children daily for symptoms and potential past exposures to COVID-19. Our program provides the protocols necessary for schools to help prevent the spread of COVID-19 among the school’s community and offers a plan of action should someone on the campus become infected.
