Hello BHS Families,

Please find attached a Community Letter regarding a positive COVID-19 test
result for an individual who was at Berkeley High School this week.

Here is the content of the letter as well:

*04/16/21 *

*Dear Parent/Guardian, *

*I am writing to inform you that we were notified of a positive COVID-19
test result for an individual who was at Berkeley High School this week.
While we have no reason to believe your student was a close contact* of
this individual, we are notifying you because we have committed to
notifying the community any time there is a positive case at a BUSD site. *

*We have followed all positive case protocols including cleaning all areas
where this individual was. *

*There is nothing you need to do at this time. We take the health and
safety of our staff and students very seriously. We hope you take
reassurance in the fact that we do not believe that your student was a
close contact to this individual. Please continue to have your student
practice all COVID-19 safety protocols: Wash hands, wear a face covering,
practice social distancing and be sure you complete the BUSD electronic
COVID-19 Health Screening Google Form each school day for your student. *

*Regards, *

*Amanda Frey District Nurse *

**A close contact is defined as a person who is less than 6 feet from an
infected person for greater than 15 minutes. This can be with or without a
face covering/mask. The 15 minutes do NOT have to be contiguous, that is,
for example, a person could have 10 minutes of contact before lunch and
five minutes of contact after lunch for a total of 15 minutes*

Thank you.

Hola Familias de BHS,

Por favor encuentre la Carta de la Comunidad adjunta con respecto a un
resultado positivo de la prueba COVID-19 para un individuo que estuvo en
Berkeley High School esta semana.

Aquí está el contenido de la carta también:

*04/16/21 *

*Estimado Padre/Tutor Legal, *

*Le escribo para informarle que fuimos notificados que una persona que
asistió a la Escuela Primaria Berkeley High School ha salido positivo en
las pruebas para COVID-19. Aunque no tenemos motivos para pensar que su
estudiante fue un contacto próximo* de dicha persona, le estamos
notificando porque tenemos un compromiso de notificar a la comunidad en
cualquier oportunidad en que se presente un caso positivo en una localidad
BUSD. *

*Estamos siguiendo todos los protocolos para casos positivos, incluyendo la
limpieza de todas las áreas en las que dicha persona estuviera presente la
semana pasada. *

*No hay nada que Ud. necesite hacer en este momento. Nosotros tomamos muy
en serio la salud y seguridad de nuestro personal y estudiantes. Esperamos
que Ud. pueda reconfortarse por el hecho que no consideramos que su
estudiante haya sido un contacto próximo de esta persona. Por favor, siga
asegurándose que su estudiante cumpla con todos los protocolos de seguridad
para el COVID-19: Lavarse las manos, usar cubrebocas, practicar el
distanciamiento social y asegurarse de someterse a la evaluación de
síntomas del Portal de Salud Frontline cada día escolar de su estudiante. *

*Atentamente, *

*Amanda Frey Enfermera de Distrito *

**Un contacto próximo se define como una persona que se encuentre a menos
de 6 pies de una persona infectada durante más de 15 minutos. Esto puede
ser con o sin cubrebocas/mascarilla. Los 15 minutos NO necesariamente deban
ser contiguos, es decir, por ejemplo, una persona puede haber tenido
contacto durante 10 minutos antes del almuerzo y cinco minutos de contacto
después del almuerzo para un total de 15 minutos.*

Gracias.
