Students who have remained at home due to any illness may only return to school if they have note from a physician or medical center that they are cleared to return. See below.

Yes, a note from a doctor, medical center, or medical lab is required clearing the student or staff member to return to the school if they have stayed home due to any illness at all (including non-Covid related symptoms). Upload Doctor's Note HERE.

Some of these symptoms may be due to other known causes or conditions. If so, the student can attend school, but please let the ICSB Health Office know about any visible symptoms due to other causes. However, if the symptoms are severe enough that they need to stay home from school, a doctor's note will be required to return.

Yes, the student can come to school, but please monitor for symptoms.

When students or staff members return from outside the country, they must stay at home for ten days or provide two negative tests.  

If another member of a household has returned from outside of Hungary, the student(s) or staff member living in the home must also stay home for 10 days or the traveler must produce one negative test (within five days before travel), regardless of the size of the home. The exception would be if there exists in the home a completely separate apartment with separate outside entrance, kitchen area, sleeping area, and bathroom with no contact between the traveler and the student.

Upload the test results HERE before the student or staff member comes to school.
