Good morning Emmanuel Faculty and Staff,
During the time the students are not in the school building, I am still keeping track of COVID related matters. If you are being tested for COVID, have tested positive or made a probably positive for COVID and in isolation, or in quarantine due to exposure to COVID, please contact me directly via e-mail or by cell phone at 937-631-6292.
I work as a liaison between our students/families/staff and the health department, and in most instances, I am able to address COVID-related matters sooner than the health department due to their high volume of cases.
You are strongly encouraged to be tested if you show any signs or symptoms. I have included a list of signs and symptoms of COVID for your convenience. As always, please follow CDC and Ohio Department of Health guidelines and recommendations during this pandemic.
Symptoms include:
Temperature ≥ 100
Chills
Rigors (sudden feeling of cold with shivering, accompanied by a rise in temperature with sweating)
Sore throat
Atypical cough for time of year
Shortness of breath/difficulty breathing
Muscle aches or myalgia (weakness and pain in a group of muscles)
Loss or dulled sense of taste of smell
Fatigue
Headache
Congestion for runny nose
Wheezing
Chest pain
Nausea
Vomiting
Diarrhea (> 3 loose stools in a 24 hour period)
Abdominal pain
This list of symptoms was obtained from the CDC.
Blessings,
Keri Faust, BSN, RN
