Military Family Resources School Safety Spiritwear Summer School COVID-19 Guidance for the '22-'23 School Year

COVID-19 Positive test procedure (Days 1-5 stay home; Days 6-10, if no symptoms or symptoms are resolving, you can leave home, but wear a mask around others, but if you have a fever stay home.)

Milford Schools is following the COVID-19 guidance for K-12 schools that was released on August 12, 2022 by the Ohio Department of Health. This guidance states:

Because contact tracing and case investigation has shifted to focus on high-risk environments, such as long-term care facilities and healthcare settings, ODH is no longer recommending the Mask to Stay, Test to Play quarantine alternative for schools.
Instead, ODH recommends schools follow general isolation procedures from the CDC for confirmed cases.

If students or staff feel sick or suspect they might have COVID-19, they should stay home and take a rapid test.
If positive, students and staff should stay home from school for at least 5 days and longer if necessary until fever-free for 24 hours (without the use of fever- reducing medication) and symptoms are improving.

Stay home 5 days from symptom onset. Symptom onset is considered DAY ZERO. May return to school on DAY 6.

Additionally, after isolation ends, students and staff should continue to take precautions as they resume normal activities and are required to wear a mask for 5 days (days 6-10), or after two negative tests 48 hours apart.

Please notify Milford schools if you are a staff member or parent of a child who tests positive for COVID-19.

You may call the COVID-19 hotline (513-576-4150) or use the COVID-19 Form.
The Clermont County Public Health (CCPH) will be contacted when the district is made aware of a staff or student who has tested positive for COVID-19.
