BCA COVID-19 Response

• Travel Policy - BCA asks that employees and clients who are traveling out of state, take appropriate precautions and
  monitor for changes in their health upon return. You should refer to CDC travel recommendations based on where you are traveling. Domestic Travel During COVID-19 | CDC International Travel During COVID-19 | CDC

​

•  BCA will continue to waive no-show fees for illness only, at this time. If you decide to return for center-based treatment, you will be expected to attend your assigned schedule. Absences due to illness will continue to be waived, but proper documentation and notice is required. Cancellations for vacations, dental or other non-emergency medical treatment will result in no-show fees. If you request BCA staff to engage in Telehealth with outside providers (ex: OT, PT, etc.), while your child is in our care, no show fees will be applied for that time. If your child is absent for any other reason than illness, no show fees will be applied. Medicaid clients although exempt from no-show fees will still need proper medical documentation to return to center based services after illness.

​

• Health Checks: Temperature Scans for staff and clients will continue, however BCA will cease documentation.
  Parents/Caregivers and staff will no longer have to complete the health attestation; however, it is expected of everyone
  that they disclose any changes in their health and act accordingly.

​

• Temperature Scan upon arrival
   

• Employees and Clients must clean hands with provided hand sanitizer upon arrival.

Unvaccinated parents and​ caregivers must continue to wear their masks, always. Please be mindful of others and keep your distance when picking up and dropping off, giving each other the recommended minimum of 3 feet of space.

    since symptoms first appeared, 24 hours with no fever (w/o use of fever reducing meds) and other COVID symptoms are improving. Once all 3 of these are met, they can return and do not need a negative test.

    staff member may return to work so long as they are not living with an infected person.
