CIC Health - COVID Testing at NuVu

CIC Health - COVID Testing at NuVu

Molly Powers

Positive Test Protocol

If a routine pooled COVID test returns a presumptive positive or positive result, students in this pool will be asked to attend studio remotely until a follow-up test is completed. Families are responsible for follow-up testing. The individuals in this pool will need to complete MA exposure guidelines, and test negative twice within a 24-48 hour period prior to returning to NuVu’s physical studio space. The individual who’s follow-up tests determine positive results must quarantine for 10 full days, and may return to studio on the 11th day, provided the 10th day was symptom -free.

Local Testing Resources

Families who have not opted into CIC testing should continue to follow the original testing schedule found on the NuVu School Calendar. You may use any of the below resources, or your preferred testing resource. Test results must be reported to NuVu by emailing a copy to attendance@nuvustudio.org.
