CHEEF Sick Policy 2025-2026
The intention of this policy is to provide a healthy and safe environment for our members. Some illnesses and situations require a person to be absent from co-op or field trips to prevent the spread of infection to others and to allow time to rest, recover, and receive treatment for the illness. In order to help keep our members healthy, CHEEF requires adherence to the guidelines of this policy. Please note, there are a number of individuals in our co-op with compromised immune systems. Knowingly exposing them to others who are sick puts them at risk not only for contracting the original illness, but also for additional complications.
Please DO NOT come to co-op or CHEEF events if anyone in your household has had the stomach bug in the last 72 hours or anyone in your household has had any of the following symptoms in the last 24 hours:
- Fever: may return when fever free, under 100 degrees, for 24 hours without medication
- Diarrhea
- Vomiting
- Body rash with other symptoms
- Sore throat with other symptoms
- Severe coughing
- Eye discharge
If you or your child is on antibiotics, please be sure you've been on them for at least 48 hours before returning to co-op.
If you or your child come to the co-op with any of these symptoms, you will be asked to leave. If someone in your household is sick, please do not bring the rest of the crew.
We understand that allergies exist. If you know your child's symptoms are allergy related, they are welcome to attend.
When in doubt, please err on the side of caution.
If you have questions about whether or not your family should attend, contact Alyssa Chambers at 419-202-9012.
