SAFETY POLICIES as of April 12, 2023 ======================================
Students & Parents If someone is positive with COVID, the CDC recommendations suggest returning to normal activities when, for at least 24 hours, symptoms are improving overall, and if a fever was present, it has been gone for 24 hours without the use of a fever-reducing medication. Masks are still recommended for five days after returning to normal activities after conditions have improved as noted above. - Art Steps reserves the right to ask any particular student not to return to the studio for any reason if safety is a concern of any sort.
Staff Policy - Each staff member self-screens for and attests that they do not have any of the following symptoms: cough, shortness of breath, fever, chills, muscle pain, sore throat, nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, or new loss of taste or smell. Any staff members who have any of these symptoms, believe they have been exposed to COVID-19 who are ill will be required to stay home, and will be asked to leave if they arrive at the studio.
- Tests are no longer required. If symptoms are not improving and a fever is present, staff must stay home.
- Staff members who visit Art Steps studios and/or offices must be fully vaccinated for Covid-19.
- If a staff member has come into contact with someone who has tested positive for Covid-19 and have no symptoms themselves, they must inform their manager, and wear a mask to teach for 5 days following the exposure.
In the Event of a Positive Test Result:
- All persons who test positive for Covid-19 are asked to stay home until their symptoms have improved for at least 24 hours, and if a fever was present, it has been gone for 24 hours without the use of a fever-reducing medication. Masks are still recommended for five days after returning to normal activities after conditions have improved as noted above.
