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

05/05/2021
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. 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 last week.

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 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.

*If your student was a close contact of this positive individual you would have already received a separate phone call/email notification indicating this.

05/05/2021

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.
