An Important Message on COVID-19 or Coronavirus
In light of the governor’s announcement confirming a case of COVID-19 in Harford County, we are reaching out to reassure you that we are continuing close and frequent conversations with the Harford County Health Department and continue to receive guidance from the Maryland Department of Health and the Center for Disease Control, or CDC.
Last week, we shared a list of things that we as a community can do in an effort to prevent spreading any illnesses. That list remains below. We also ask you to assist us in adhering to the following:
- Staff, students, parents/guardians, and guests are asked to stay home from school if they have a fever of 100 degrees or higher. Remember that you should not return to work or school until you have been fever- free without the use of fever reducing medication for at least 24 hours or as directed by your healthcare provider.
The Maryland Department of Health encourages anyone who thinks they may have been exposed to call their health care provider who will provide their recommendations regarding exposure risk and determine the need for testing. Maryland residents may dial 2-1-1 with all other questions.
We encourage you to follow the Harford County Health Department, Maryland Department of Health and CDC on their social media platforms for the most up to date information.
