Updated COVID Practices - as of January 11, 2022
Participants are strongly encouraged, but not required to wear a mask at the TSC and our neighborhood program sites. Staff, volunteers, vendors and contractors are required to wear a mask at all times except in an office alone.
To be respectful of each other, please continue to follow these guidelines:
a. Do not attend an activity if you are sick or have symptoms which include a fever, cough and shortness of breath.
b. Practice social distancing when possible.
c. Wash your hands frequently and avoid touching your face.
If you test positive for COVID-19, please notify a TSC staff person ASAP to discuss return protocols. Do not return to TSC until you have spoken with a staff person.
If you think you have been Exposed to COVID-19 which, according to the CDC, means being within 6 feet of someone for a cumulative total of 15 minutes or more over a 24-hour period, follow these guidelines. People who have been fully vaccinated do not need to quarantine after contact with someone who has had COVID-19 unless they have symptoms.
-Fully vaccinated individuals (fully vaccinated two weeks after having received the last dose of a CDC-authorized COVID-19 vaccine and any subsequent CDC recommended booster shot):
o No quarantine requirement if asymptomatic.
o Wear a mask for 10 days since exposure.
o Is recommended to get tested on day five (5) after exposure.
o Continue to monitor for symptoms.
-Unvaccinated individuals (Someone who has not received any dose of a CDC- authorized COVID-19 vaccine, or who has received fewer than the total number of recommended doses, including the booster shot, of a CDC- authorized COVID-19 vaccine (i.e., partially vaccinated) is unvaccinated. For individuals who were vaccinated but are more than six months out from their second mRNA dose (or more than 2 months out after the J&J vaccine) and not yet received the booster shot, the individual is considered unvaccinated):
o Quarantine for five (5) days after the last contact with the individual testing positive for COVID-19.
o Get a PCR test on 5th day
o Wear a mask for 10 days since exposure.
o In order to return to the TSC or a satellite activity, present a negative COVID-19 test result (test must occur on day 5 or later after the exposure).
o Or wait 10 days and return on the 11th day without symptoms.
o Continue to monitor for symptoms.
If you have symptoms – do not attend a class or activity.
Thank you for following these guidelines in the best interest of trying to keep everyone as safe as possible, and maintain a healthy environment at the TSC and our program sites.
Take care & stay safe,
Sheila Salyer
