Dear Putnam Valley School Community,<\/p>\n
Today, the District was notified that an individual has tested positive for COVID-19.\u00a0 We are working with the Putnam County Department of Health who has determined through case investigation that the individual was not infectious when last in the building and there is no need to conduct contact tracing.\u00a0 The individual has not been in attendance at Putnam Valley High School since last week and was not symptomatic when last present in the building.\u00a0 This case is not related to the previous positive case in the building.\u00a0 As required by law, we must maintain this person\u2019s confidentiality, which prevents us from further identifying the individual.<\/p>\n
As a reminder, if you believe at any point you may have been in close contact with someone who has COVID-19, you should self-quarantine and speak to your healthcare provider.\u00a0 If you suspect your child is becoming ill, that child should stay home and you should consult with your physician.\u00a0 Symptoms of COVID-19 include fever, cough, sore throat, runny nose, muscle pain, fatigue, new onset of loss of taste and\/or smell, and sometimes vomiting or diarrhea.<\/p>\n
