UTC Adult Education Website: http://utc.maineadulted.org 11/23/2020 United Technologies Center Public Statement Notice of COVID-19 Positive Case at UTC: Tuesday/Thursday Cohort UTC Full Remote Monday 11/23/2020 This weekend we were notified that an individual from a local sending school has been identified as presumptive positive for COVID-19. The individual’s last contact day at UTC was Thursday, November 19th. Families of students who are in the individual’s program cohort had what Maine CDC defines as close contact and are being notified . Out of an abundance of caution, the late timing of this situation, other UTC sending schools already closed for COVID concerns and other reasons, UTC will be full remote for Monday 11/23/2020. Maine CDC or a school representative has contacted you directly if you are a family of an identified close contact. Close contacts must quarantine at least until the original individual’s test results come back. If that test comes back positive, asymptomatic close contacts must quarantine for 14 days from last exposure to the positively tested individual. Asymptomatic close contacts may also get tested but a negative test result does not allow them to discontinue quarantine. Symptomatic close contacts should contact their health care provider for evaluation. If you have not been contacted directly by UTC, sending school staff or CDC contact tracers you have not been deemed a close contact. Please monitor yourself/your student for signs and symptoms. Call a health care provider if symptoms start. It is important that you call a healthcare facility before you arrive in person. Stay home if you are sick. COVID-19 is a respiratory illness that ranges from mild to severe. It can be more severe in adults 60 years and older and in those with underlying conditions. The virus mainly spreads when an infected person coughs or sneezes and an uninfected person breathes in the virus. Signs and symptoms include: fever or chills cough shortness of breath or difficulty breathing fatigue muscle or body aches headache new loss of taste or smell sore throat congestion or runny nose nausea or vomiting diarrhea Please keep in mind that many things can cause respiratory illness, so students and staff should be up-to-date on influenza and routine vaccinations. Maine CDC recommends preventive measures to prevent the spread of COVID-19. These measures include wearing a face covering over your nose, under your chin and snug against your cheeks, practice physical distancing, and wash hands with soap and warm water. When soap and water are not available, use an alcohol-based hand sanitizer with at least 60 percent alcohol. Avoid touching your eyes, nose, and mouth with unwashed hands, and avoid close contact with people who are sick. Cover your cough or sneeze into a tissue, then throw the tissue in the trash. Clean and disinfect frequently touched objects and surfaces using a regular household cleaning spray or wipe. For general COVID-19 questions, dial 211 (or 1-866-811-5695).
