Case Counts - Covid-19

Please be advised of the following revised and shortened isolation/quarantine guidelines related to COVID-19 which will impact your schools, employees and students. This information has been confirmed by WSD Nursing Department and state/local health officials:

For those testing positive for COVID-19, isolation is now five (5) days, followed by strict mask wearing for the remaining 5 days, if they are asymptomatic, or they are fever free and their symptoms have improved. If they are still sick on day five (5), they cannot return to work/school with a mask.

Here is a resource link (and excerpt) to the most recent CDC guidelines about isolation for COVID-19 positive individuals and those who should quarantine due to exposure to a COVID-19 positive individual:

Given what we currently know about COVID-19 and the Omicron variant, CDC is shortening the recommended time for isolation for the public. People with COVID-19 should isolate for 5 days and if they are asymptomatic or their symptoms are resolving (without fever for 24 hours), follow that by 5 days of wearing a mask when around others to minimize the risk of infecting people they encounter. The change is motivated by science demonstrating that the majority of SARS-CoV-2 transmission occurs early in the course of illness, generally in the 1-2 days prior to onset of symptoms and the 2-3 days after.

Additionally, CDC is updating the recommended quarantine period for anyone in the general public who is exposed to COVID-19. For people who are unvaccinated or are more than six months out from their second mRNA dose (or more than 2 months after the J&J vaccine) and not yet boosted, CDC now recommends quarantine for 5 days followed by strict mask use for an additional 5 days. Alternatively, if a 5-day quarantine is not feasible, it is imperative that an exposed person wear a well-fitting mask at all times when around others for 10 days after exposure. Individuals who have received their booster shot do not need to quarantine following an exposure, but should wear a mask for 10 days after the exposure. For all those exposed, best practice would also include a test for SARS-CoV-2 at day 5 after exposure. If symptoms occur, individuals should immediately quarantine until a negative test confirms symptoms are not attributable to COVID-19.
