COVID-19 EMERGENCY ACTION PLAN (EAP)

The first line of defense is to keep the youth HOME if they are showing signs or symptoms of COVID-19.  Participant should report the following to a member of the CROYA Staff;

  • If anyone in the immediate household has recently tested positive for COVID-19.
  • Has been exposed to a positive COVID-19 person.
  • Has recently travelled to any of the states on the IL travel quarantine list.

In the event either of the below occur, CROYA Staff will handle all communications with Parents and if necessary, other Participant Parents.

  • COVID-19 Symptomatic:
    • If a Participant or Staff member does have symptoms, they CANNOT attend a CROYA program until they have had no fever for at least 72 hours without the use of fever-reducing medications, other symptoms have improved, and at least 10 days have passed since their symptoms first appeared.
    • Participant or Staff member must have a negative COVID-19 test result.
    • If a Participant or Staff member shows any symptoms while at a program, they will be moved to an area separated from the rest of the Program, accompanied by a Staff member. Parents will be contacted and expected to pick up Participant immediately.
  • COVID-19 Positive:
    • If a Participant or Staff member does contract COVID-19, they should remain isolated at home for a minimum of 10 days after symptoms onset and can be released after feverless and feeling well (without fever-reducing medication) for at least 72 hours and have a negative COVID-19 test result.
    • Anyone who is exposed to a COVID-19 positive Participant or Staff member will be contacted by Staff and advised on next steps.
