COVID Testing October 12

Click here to open the Sauk County Interactive Testing Site Locator App.

For Testing Sites Outside of Sauk County, click here. 

*Please note-Community Testing Sites are not providing antibody testing at this time. The tests that the Community Testing Sites are using detect active infection of SARS-CoV-2, the virus that causes COVID-19. These tests are not antibody tests and will not tell you if you have previously have COVID and have now recovered.*

TESTING INFORMATION

  • Anyone age 1 year and older may be tested at Free Community Testing Sites.
  • The tests that the Community Testing Sites conduct are Molecular Tests (aka PCR Tests) to detect active infection of SARS-CoV-2, the virus that causes COVID-19.
    • These tests are not antibody tests and will not tell you if you have previously have COVID and have now recovered.
  • We recommend testing for:
    • People with COVID-19 Symptoms
    • People who have had close contact with someone who tested positive for COVID-19
    • People who have regular exposure to many people (such as people who work in grocery stores, restaurants)
    • If you are getting tested because you are concerned that you may have been exposed, please wait 6-7 days after the possible exposure to get tested, unless you are experiencing symptoms.
  • We do not recommend testing for:
    • People who plan to attend a gathering and "want to make sure they're ok."
      • Testing only tells you if you had COVID on the day you were tested. A negative test does not necessarily mean it is safe to gather with others. Remember it can take up to 14 days after exposure to develop symptoms-so you could be infectious a few days after a negative test. The best way to reduce the risk of getting and spreading COVID-19 is to avoid gathering with people you do not live with.
    • People who want to get tested regularly for "peace of mind."
      • Tests are in limited supply. We need to save our testing resources for symptomatic people, those who have been in close contact with confirmed cases, those who are regularly exposed to many people, and those who work with high-risk populations.

Protecting Our Students and Community from Coronavirus

Symptoms of Coronavirus - fever, cough and shortness of breath

When School Resumes

The safety of our students and staff is our top priority. When school resumes, please watch for the following symptoms. Keep students home from school and contact their physician to ask to be tested for Coronavirus if they have these symptoms: 
  • Fever
  • Cough
  • Shortness of breath

Please contact the school 608-986-2151 to report the absence and symptoms. Learn more about the symptoms and treatment of Coronavirus at the Center for Disease Control (CDC) website. Those at highest risk for Coronavirus complications are older adults and individuals with compromised immune systems or heart, lung and kidney disease. See how Coronavirus is spread. It can take two to 14 days for a person to develop symptoms after initial exposure to the virus; the average is about five days.

We have no known cases of COVID-19 among students or staff in Weston School District.

We continue to closely monitor the situation with our School Nurses and Sauk and Richland County Health Departments, as well as review updates from the Wisconsin Department of Health Services, Department of Public Instruction and the CDC. Here is the latest information on confirmed cases in Wisconsin.

How to Prevent the Spread of Germs

What You Can Do and Our Cleaning Measures

Weston School District has a routine cleaning regimen in place to help reduce the spread of germs and communicable disease. In addition to our regular cleaning and disinfection, we are increasing the cleaning of high-touch areas and hard and soft surface items throughout the day. We will follow all guidelines of the CDC and our local and state health departments.

We all play a role in helping reduce the spread of communicable disease. We are asking our students, staff and families to practice regular preventive actions (see flyer in English, Spanish, Hmong and Mandarin Chinese) including:
  • Wash your hands regularly, for 20 seconds, using soap and hot water. Make sure to wash your fingertips. This is especially important after using the restroom, coughing or sneezing into your hands, and before preparing or consuming food.
  • Avoid coughing or sneezing into your hands or in the air. Always try to cough or sneeze into a tissue, and then throw the tissue away. If you don’t have a tissue, cough/sneeze into your arm.
  • As much as you can, avoid touching your eyes, mouth and nose.
  • If children are feeling sick, please keep them home from school. Families should have a plan in place for keeping your child home, picking up your child if they are sent home sick, and if schools are closed.

Travel Restrictions

This is a rapidly evolving situation, with the World Health Organization declaring Coronavirus a pandemic, the President and Governor declaring it a public health emergency and the President issuing a month-long ban effective March 13 on all travel from Europe, including the UK and Ireland, to the U.S.

The state of Wisconsin Department of Health Services (DHS) is asking schools and organizations to:
  • Cancel events with over 250 people
  • Avoid non-essential domestic travel
  • Avoid traveling to areas in the US with sustained community transmission of COVID-19 (currently Washington, New York, and California). See map of US sustained community transmission of COVID-19.
  • Self-quarantine for 14 days upon return for anyone who travels to any U.S. states with confirmed community spread of COVID-19.

Many families have travel plans for spring break. If your family is planning to travel to a country with a Level 3 travel health notice, please contact the Weston School District at 608-986-2151 before returning to school. The CDC is asking you to self-quarantine for 14 days. Read more about travel on the CDC's website.

We appreciate your patience with this fluid situation and we will continue to update you as needed. Please rest assured that we will continue to put your students’ safety first. If you have any questions, reach out to Mr. Syftestad by email or at 608-986-2151.
