TestingCOVID-19 testing and proof of a negative test result is periodically required of all students, faculty, and staff in order to attend Trevor in person. For the convenience of its community, Trevor contracted with Quality Laboratories and offered COVID-19 PCR testing to all students, faculty, and staff.
Students, faculty, and staff can, instead, be tested through their primary care provider or other available testing facilities. Either the CDC 2019 Novel Coronavirus (2019-nCoV) Real-Time Reverse Transcriptase (RT)–PCR Diagnostic Panel or the CDC Influenza SARS-CoV-2 (Flu SC2) Multiplex Assay are accepted. Rapid Antigen tests are not acceptable.
TravelAll members of the Trevor community must report travel that requires quarantine to a school nurse and homeroom teacher/adviser (in the case of a student) or to a school nurse and supervisor (in the case of a staff member) and follow all current regulations with regard to quarantining after travel. Quarantine is required by New York State after international travel or travel within states with widespread community transmission of COVID-19, pursuant to current CDC and DOH guidance, as well as Executive Order 205. These regulations state:
- For travelers who were out-of-state for more than 24 hours:
- Travelers must obtain a test within three days of departure, prior to arrival in New York.
- The traveler must, upon arrival in New York, quarantine for three days.
- On day 4 of their quarantine, the traveler must obtain another COVID test. If both tests comes back negative, the traveler may exit quarantine early upon receipt of the second negative diagnostic test.
- For travelers who were out-of-state for less than 24 hours:
- The traveler does not need a test prior to their departure from the other state, and does not need to quarantine upon arrival in New York State.
- However, the traveler must fill out our traveler form upon entry into New York State, and take a COVID diagnostic test 4 days after their arrival in New York.
Local health departments will validate tests, if necessary, and if a test comes back positive, will issue isolation orders and initiate contact tracing. The local health department must make contact with the state the traveler came from, to ensure contact tracing proceeds there as well. All travelers must continue to fill out our traveler form upon arrival into New York State to contribute to New York State’s robust contact tracing program.
The travel guidelines require all New Yorkers, as well as those visiting from out-of-state, to take personal responsibility for compliance in the best interest of public health and safety.
