Meade County is currently listed by the Department of Health as having substantial community spread of COVID-19. Due to this classification, if your student is sent home from school with one or more of the following symptoms, he/she will be required to stay home from school for 72 hours.

Symptoms:
1. Temperature of 100.4 degrees Fahrenheit or higher when taken by mouth.
2. Sore throat.
3. New uncontrolled cough that causes difficulty breathing. (For students with chronic allergic/asthmatic cough, a change in their cough from baseline.)
4. Diarrhea, vomiting or abdominal pain.
5. New onset of severe headache, especially with a fever.
The only option for your child to return to school within the 72 hours is with a negative COVID-19 test or a note from their Dr. with an alternative diagnosis. Parents will be notified when Meade County is no longer in substantial community spread.
