If the student tests positive after an antigen test, the student would be isolated and sent home. The student should seek a confirmatory PCR test in the community to occur within 48 hours. The student should remain in isolation until the test results are confirmed. If the PCR test is POSITIVE, the student is considered a confirmed positive case and the school nurse should undertake the typical contact tracing process.

If the student has a NEGATIVE PCR result taken within the 48 hours the antigen test is considered a false positive and the student can stop isolation.
