Isolation and Quarantine Info.
- If any vaccinated Camp Givah staff or child tests positive for COVID-19, they must isolate for at least five days. Isolation may end after 5 full days if the individual is fever-free for 24 hours without the use of fever-reducing medication and other symptoms have improved. Campers and staff must continue to wear a well-fitting mask upon return from isolation during days 6-10 after COVID-19 infection.
- All unvaccinated campers and staff will need to isolate for a full 10 days.
- If campers and counselors are close contacts to an individual who tests positive for COVID-19 and are up to date with vaccinations and do not have symptoms, they may continue to attend camp. They should be tested 5 days after their last exposure or if symptoms develop, whichever comes first.
- Anyone who is not up to date with vaccinations and is a close contact of someone who tests positive for COVID-19 should be tested frequently (e.g., daily, every other day, at least twice within 5 days) and wear a mask from the date of the exposure through at least day 5.
- Close contacts who are not up to date with vaccinations and cannot wear a well-fitting mask will not be permitted to attend camp for 10 days.
