Based on advice from the Victorian Chief Health Officer, some significant changes have been
made regarding the management of positive COVID cases and contacts in schools as we reach
the 90% double dose milestone for eligible people in the coming days.
Schools will be involved in the process of identifying contacts of a confirmed case of COVID-19
at schools; contacts will no longer be contacted by the Department of Health with quarantine
requirements. If your child is identified as a contact the school will contact you directly.
Contacts will be required to complete a standard (PCR) test within 24 hours from when they
are identified by the school as a contact.
If the PCR test returns a negative result, the student can immediately return to school, with
evidence of the negative result provided to the school.
It is strongly recommended that contacts complete five days of rapid antigen tests in the
morning before they attend school.
You will be able to obtain these testing kits from testing centres from Monday 22 November if
your child is required to complete a standard PCR test.
In exceptional circumstances the Department of Health may determine that contacts in
significant school outbreaks are still required to quarantine for seven days. In this scenario,
students will be notified directly of any additional quarantine arrangements.
Face masks will now only be required by staff, visitors and Grades 3 to 6 students in an indoor space within a primary school (or schools which have primary students such as P-12 school).
The wearing of masks remains recommended elsewhere where physically distancing cannot be maintained. |
