Dear Hamilton Middle School Community,
It is our priority to keep you informed of incidents related to safety. We want to make you aware that a student or staff member has been diagnosed with COVID-19. Symptoms of COVID-19 include loss of taste or smell, new or worsening cough, fever greater than 100.4, shortness of breath or difficulty breathing, sore throat, runny nose/congestion, muscle or body aches, headache, fatigue, nausea, vomiting, or diarrhea.
Each case of COVID-19 is interviewed by public health. As part of this public health investigation:
The person diagnosed is being kept home from school until they are no longer infectious.
The person’s activities when they could have spread COVID-19 were assessed.
If you have any concerns about your health or have any symptoms of COVID-19, we encourage you to contact the Denver Health School-Based Health Center at 303-602-8958 (or your primary care provider) for further evaluation and possible testing.
Sincerely,
Regan Thornburg RN, BSN
Hamilton Middle School Nurse
