The new CDC guidance is as follows with close contacts and positive cases:
If you test positive for Covid, you should quarantine for 5 days from the start of symptoms with the first day of symptoms counting as day 0. You may leave quarantine after day 5 but must continue masking when around others for days 6-10.
If you have been told you are a close contact, you may attend school if you do not have any symptoms however, you are required to wear a mask for 10 days from the last day of contact with the individual and monitor for symptoms. Siblings and same household members are required to wear a mask for 16 days. If you are still asymptomatic, you should test on day 6.
Moreover, if you are experiencing any symptoms, please stay home and get tested sooner. In all cases, consult your primary care provider for further advice.
Reporting
Staff members and students who tested positive or have come into close contact with any individuals who tested positive for COVID-19 are encouraged to contact their building certified school nurse to report the illness and the CSN will review the date of quarantine and mask wearing requirements.
