  • If anyone in the household has ONE symptom of COVID-19, all members of the household must stay home and not leave (even for essential reasons) until the symptomatic person tests negative 
  • If anyone in the household has travelled outside of Canada, all members of the household must stay home from school until the 14-day self-isolation period has finished, except for essential reasons 
  • If anyone in the household is isolating as a close contact or because they are from a dismissed cohort, all household members must stay home from school and child care for the duration of the 14 day isolation period regardless of whether the close contact or individual from a dismissed cohort test negative.
