Dear Parent/Guardian, We have been notified of one positive COVID-19 case that attended Brandon Middle School last week. The student last attended BMS on Thursday, January 21st. The students and staff member(s) exposed to this individual have been notified and received a separate letter providing specific guidance. COVID- 19 is a contagious viral illness that spreads in the air through coughing, sneezing, and talking. Recent information suggests COVID-19 is spread by people who are not showing symptoms. It may be possible that a person can get COVID-19 by touching a surface or object that has the virus on it, then touching their own mouth, nose, or possibly their eyes. Symptoms include fever, cough, shortness of breath or difficulty breathing, fatigue, muscle or body aches, headache, new loss of taste or smell, sore throat, congestion or runny nose, nausea or vomiting, and diarrhea. Please continue to watch your student for any symptoms of COVID-19. If your student does develop symptoms, we urge you to get your child tested for COVID-19. Testing locations can be found using the COVID-19 Test Finder at https://www.michigan.gov/coronavirus. If your child tests positive for COVID-19 or is symptomatic and you do not wish to have them tested, keep him or her at home until they have been fever free for at least 24 hours and it has been more than ten days since the initial onset of symptoms. For additional information regarding COVID-19, please visit the OCHD website at https://www.oakgov.com/health. Michael Tucker Principal Brandon Middle School |
