As we return to school this week, the state has implemented new school quarantine guidance changes as part of the State COVID-19 School Manual.
These changes became effective on January 4, 2021. Please note that this new guidance is ONLY for K-12 public, private, and charter schools. There are two main areas addressed by these updates.
The new guidance from the state identifies thresholds that will initiate a conversation with the County Health Department about the possibility of enacting phase changes. The new thresholds are as follows:
Wearing face masks has been shown to reduce the spread of COVID-19 in schools and the number of students and teachers on quarantine.
The new guidance states that students, teachers, or employees who were exposed to someone with COVID-19 at school DO NOT have to quarantine if:
· The school can verify that both people were wearing face masks (the person who was exposed and the person who tested positive) as defined by state public health order, and
· The person who was exposed does not have any symptoms of COVID-19.
If at any time during the 14 days after their exposure a student, teacher, or employee develops symptoms of COVID-19, he or she should isolate and get tested right away. If the person does not have symptoms, he or she should wait 7 days after they were exposed to get tested.
Students, teachers, or employees who were not wearing a mask at the time of exposure or who were exposed to someone who was not wearing a mask may end quarantine:
Anyone who was exposed to the virus needs to watch for symptoms until it has been 14 days since they were last exposed, even if they have returned to in-person learning or work.
The school is responsible for verifying that face masks were worn correctly at the time of the exposure. This means the person who tests positive and the person who came into close contact with them were both wearing a face mask correctly, as outlined in the state public health order.
A face mask that is worn correctly must:
· Cover the nose and mouth without openings that can be seen through.
· Be made of synthetic or natural fabrics.
· Secure under the chin.
· Fit snugly against the nose and sides of the face.
· Not have exhalation valves or vents.
As always, please remember to do your part by social distancing and washing your hands often.
Thank you for your continued patience and understanding during this difficult time.
