Dear Worcester Preparatory School Community,

Based on revised guidance from the Maryland State department of Health, we have updated/revised our school’s Health and Safety plan. The primary change involves a revision as to what are considered symptoms of a “COVID-19-like illness”. 
This is now being defined as having Any 1 of the following symptoms: cough, shortness of breath, difficulty breathing, new loss of taste or smell  OR at least 2 of the following: fever >100 F, chills or shaking chills, muscle aches, sore throat, headache, nausea or vomiting, diarrhea, fatigue and congestion or runny nose.
These changes are reflected in our newly revised daily screening questionnaire.
As always, please contact Anne Regan, the school nurse, if you have any questions or concerns.

Dr. John C. McDonald Jr. 
Head of School
