By keeping our staff separated in “bubbles”, and following strict protocol, we were able to avert a larger complication.
One of our staff, when being prepared for minor surgery, tested positive for covid-19 virus during the routine test. We are happy to report the staff member is only showing moderate symptoms and is feeling slightly unwell. They will remain off campus to complete their 14 day quarantine. It is believed that the staff member was infected while visiting their medical clinic the week before in preparation for the minor surgical procedure.
As per our Covid-19 Protocol & Procedure Policy:
- The building was immediately quarantined for cleaning and disinfecting;
- Staff sharing that area, were identified, isolated and safely transported to the nearest clinic for rapid antigen testing.
- All test results were negative (Procedure & Policy when followed works very well).
- Even though testing negative – staff members having been in contact with our team member, will self-quarantine in their own homes next week and will receive 2 negative test before returning to our facility.
- Specialists will be on site Monday morning to fog and disinfect the entire school.
- All lessons will continue as per usual.
We hope all Permata Bangsa families remain safe during this Global Pandemic. Teachers continue to remind our students to practice good hygiene and common sense during these times.
Let’s keep our community “thinking positive and praying” that this situation will improve around the world and we can once again return to safe, normal, and happy lives.
Take exquisite care and stay safe!
