Overview of COVID-19 Isolation Guidance for K-12 Schools

 

Students, teachers & staff who test positive for COVID-19 and/or display COVID-19 symptoms should isolate regardless of vaccination status:

 

o If no symptoms, monitor for symptoms for days 0 – 10; AND

 

o Isolate at home for days 0 – 5 (day “0” is day symptoms begin or day test was taken for those without symptoms); AND

 

o If symptoms have improved or no symptoms developed, return to school, while wearing a well-fitted mask, for days 6 -10; or

 

o Stay home for days 0 - 10 if unwilling/unable to wear a mask.

If you have a fever, stay home until you are fever free for a period of 24 hours without the use of fever reducing medications.

 

Please note that you can only return on days 6-10 if you are willing to wear a mask, otherwise you will need to stay home the entire 10 days.
