Dear BHS Families,

Please find below a Community Letter regarding a positive COVID-19 test result for an individual who was at Berkeley High School. 
08/20/21

Dear Parent/Guardian,

I am writing to inform you that we were notified of a positive COVID-19 test result for an individual(s) who was at BHS this week. While we have no reason to believe your student was a close contact* of this individual(s), 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.

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.

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.

Estimado Padre/Tutor Legal:

Le escribo para informarle que se nos ha notificado acerca de un resultado positivo en la prueba de COVID-19 para un individuo que estaba en BHS la semana pasada. Aunque no tenemos ninguna motivo para creer que su estudiante fue un contacto cercano* a este individuo, le estamos notificando debido a que nos hemos comprometido a informar a la comunidad cada vez que haya un caso positivo en un establecimiento de BUSD.

Hemos seguido todos los protocolos de casos positivos.

No hay nada que usted deba de hacer en este momento. Nosotros tomamos muy en serio la salud y la seguridad de nuestro personal docente y de nuestros alumnos. Esperamos que le tranquilice el hecho de que no creemos que su estudiante haya sido un contacto cercano a este individuo. Por favor, continúe haciendo que su estudiante practique todos los protocolos de seguridad de COVID-19.

Saludos,

Amanda Frey
Enfermera en el Distrito (District Nurse)

Esto puede ser con o sin una cubierta/mascarilla/cubrebocas para la cara. Los 15 minutos NO tienen que ser continuos, es decir, por ejemplo, una persona podría tener 10 minutos de contacto antes de la comida y cinco minutos de contacto después de la comida para un total de 15 minutos.

*Si su estudiante fue un contacto cercano a este individuo que resultó positivo, usted ya habría recibido una llamada telefónica/notificación por correo electrónico por separado indicando esto.
