Please contact the Snohomish Health District at 425-252-5415 and ask to talk with a public health nurse to discuss the symptoms and next steps. To assist the health department in providing you with timely recommendations, please provide the name of the school your child attended when you call. If your child remains symptom-free through the duration of your quarantine period, we recommend they get tested a few days before their quarantine ends. Because we are in a pandemic, we need to follow up with you for the duration of your child’s quarantine period. You will be contacted daily via text on the number you provide to which we ask you to do your best to respond promptly.
