First off- THANK YOU! Because of the diligence of staff and clients, we have stayed open for three months!
As this continues, please remember:
Do not come in if you are feeling sick
Notify us if you have been at/in any (potentially) risky events/situations
Plane, bus, and/or train travel requires a ten-day waiting period before returning to Pushing Boundaries
With cold and flu season upon us, it's important to note that many COVID symptoms are also cold or flu symptoms. Staff and clients are encouraged to get tested for COVID-19, should they experience any symptoms.*
Several clients have reached out about when they could return to PB, if they should test positive*. Below are our guidelines, established from the CDC recommendations. These are also posted on-site, for easy reference.
If someone tests Positive for COVID-19
Asymptomatic Positive
If you test Positive for COVID-19 but have no symptoms, you may return to Pushing Boundaries when:
At least 10 days have past since your last positive test.
Mild to Moderate Case of COVID-19, and are not otherwise immunocompromised

At least 10 days have passed since symptoms first appeared and
At least 24 hours have passed since last fever without the use of fever-reducing medications and
