Quarantine Guidelines and Precautions a Close Contact Should Take
To allow time for students to catch up with the latest recommendations and to minimize disruption to in-person learning, schools may consider forgoing quarantine for students ages 12-17 years who completed their primary vaccine series but have not yet received all eligible boosters.
Regardless of vaccination status, all close contacts should monitor for symptoms and wear a well-fitting mask around others for 10 days after the last close contact.
If a close contact develops any COVID-19 symptoms, they should isolate, get tested immediately, and continue to isolate if they test positive.
