COVID Guidance

To keep our school community healthy, please keep your student home if they show signs of illness. SLArts is following advice from the Utah Department of Health and Human Services regarding kids with COVID.

Stay home if you have symptoms of COVID-19 or test positive, even if you are vaccinated or have had COVID before. The vaccines do not interfere with the accuracy of COVID-19 tests.If you have symptoms, stay home until:

• You have been fever-free for 24 hours without using medicine to lower your fever.
• Your symptoms have improved for 24 hours.
• It has been at least 5 days from the day your symptoms first started. You are most likely infectious in the first 5 days, which is why it is so important to stay home and isolate. The day your symptoms first started is called day 0. Stay home until it has been 5 full days after you test positive (days 1-5). 

You may need to stay at home longer than 5 days if your symptoms have not gotten better. Some symptoms, like losing your sense of taste or smell, can last for weeks or months even though you are no longer infectious and don’t need to stay home anymore. Talk to a healthcare provider if you have questions about how long you should stay at home after testing positive. 

Wear a well-fitting mask around others and in public for 5 more days after you end your isolation at home. If you have never had symptoms, stay home until:
