Question 1

What should I do if my child tests positive for COVID-19?

Accepted Answer

If your child tests positive for COVID-19, he/she should isolate at home for at least 10 days from when symptoms began. If your child is asymptomatic, they should isolate at home for 10 days following the day their test was performed.  Remaining at home and staying away from others (including those within the same household), will help to prevent the spread of infection to others.  Parents should note the start date of the onset of symptoms and continue to monitor symptoms throughout the period of isolation. Anyone who reports COVID-19 exposure to the studio is directed to also report to their County Health Department. A “notice of exposure risk” is also sent to the class.

Question 2

When can my child return to dance?

Accepted Answer

Your child must be fever and symptom free for 24 hours without the use of medication before returning. In addition, 10 days must also have passed since the start of their symptoms.  If your child is asymptomatic, he/she can return to dance 10 days following the date their COVID-19 test was performed. Your child’s return to the studio should also be collaboratively determined by the local health department and you.

Question 3

Will I be contacted if there is a positive case in my child’s class?

Accepted Answer

You will be contacted/notified if your child was considered to have had close contact (15 cumulative minutes or more within 6 feet) with a classmate or instructor who tested positive for COVID-19.

Question 4

How will I be notified if my child has been exposed to COVID-19?

Accepted Answer

Parents/Guardians will be notified via email if their child has been in close contact with someone who tested positive for COVID-19.  (The Health Department defines close contact as having had fifteen or more cumulative minutes within 6 feet of someone who has tested positive.) This notification will include guidance and information regarding the need to quarantine.
