Important Updates on COVID-19

Updated March 20th, 2023

The following policy will be effective March 20th, 2023

COVID-confirmed Case

• COVID-confirmed cases who are asymptomatic or have mild symptoms are advised to undergo a ”0+n” self-health monitoring period.

• 無症狀或症狀較輕的確診者(教職員生)，建議進行“0+n”自我健康監測期。

• It is advised for COVID-confirmed cases with mild symptoms not to attend classes in person and stay at home until the symptoms ease, and to wear a mask at all times if it’s needed to go out.

• 建議輕症確診者在症狀緩解前請在家休息，勿入校上課，如需外出則全程佩戴口罩。

General Guidelines

• Individuals comply with name registration, temperature check, and alcohol spray prior to entering the school.

• Masks are now optional in campus,but masks will still be “required” while at the health center and on the school/shuttle buses.

• Schools will have the discretion to mandate masks as needed.

• It is suggested to wear a mask if anyone has a fever or respiratory symptoms.

• Students are still required to have a mask at their disposal each day just in case it is needed.

Self-health Monitoring  

• In order to protect our community, AAIA asks all community members to exercise caution and diligence in monitoring students’ own health. Use the following guidelines when determining if a student should be attending school:
  1. Students may not attend school unless their body temperature is under  37.5 degrees without medication.
  2. Students may not attend school if students are showing symptoms (such as fever, coughing, sore throat, fever, diarrhea, etc).

If a student is having a fever or showing Covid-like symptoms, he/she should remain home and seek medical attention immediately.

Health Center

Our health center is located on the first floor right next to the reception. Ms. Kao is a registered nurse who provides students, parents, faculty, and staff with resources to health safety-related information. Students may see her for an assessment should they feel unwell during school time.

In addition, AAIA adheres strictly to the AAIA Student Accident/Injury Manual for any emergency situations (新北華美國際美國學校學生緊急傷病處理辦法) [2021.06.19 updated]
