Shellydon Posted July 28, 2020 Posted July 28, 2020 Can anyone share what their local school districts guidelines are for returning to classes and or quarantining following and exposure. Specifically if a student attends class on Tuesday and tests positive on Wednesday. Clearly the infected student will be out until they are well, but what about the rest of the class? Assume universal mask wearing, hand washing, and general disinfecting. Social distancing is iffy but attempted. Some of my local school districts are suggesting that everybody who is in contact with the student for more than 15 minutes isolate for 3 days, others are saying return the next day unless there are symptoms. Our local hospitals are having exposed staff work until they actually have symptoms as well. Any information about what your schools are doing? At first I was surprised they were not doing a 10-day isolation, but then I realized it that would mean huge numbers of students would be missing school constantly. Quote
AmandaVT Posted July 28, 2020 Posted July 28, 2020 According to an email teachers received in our district, they plan on deep cleaning the classroom and letting everyone back in after 24 hrs. That's it. 1 Quote
BusyMom5 Posted July 28, 2020 Posted July 28, 2020 Ours sent a notice over the weekend- kids should be symptom free for 24 hours. They included fever, throwing up, general illness type stuff. This has always been the rule- and how kids got HFM disease! Quote
