[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Unvaccinated are supposed to stay home for 7 days after returning REGARDLESS of a negative test.  The minimum is 7 days, not 3.  If you get tested 3-5 after returning, you can shorten the quarantine from 10 to 7 days.  But 7 days is the minimum.[/quote]

Where are you getting this from?[/quote]

This says FOR DOMESTIC TRAVEL:

Domestic Travel

• Unvaccinated people should:
o Get a COVID-19 test 1-3 days before leaving on their trip AND
o Get a COVID-19 test 3-5 days after returning home from their trip AND
o Self-quarantine for 7 days after returning home.
 Even if test is negative, you still must self-quarantine for 7 days.
o If no test is done, unvaccinated people must self-quarantine for 10 days after
returning home
o Avoid being around people at high-risk for severe COVID-19 during your
quarantine period whether you had post-travel testing or not. (For more
information see Guidance for People with Chronic Health Conditions and
Guidance for Older Adults at coronavirus.dc.gov/healthguidance.)[/quote]

Which, LOL, is different than what's in the OSSE guidelines, that even reference the above linked DC document.

OSSE, p. 27:
https://osse.dc.gov/sites/default/files/dc/sites/osse/page_content/attachments/FINAL_OSSE_Health_and_Safety%20Guidance_for_Schools-COVID-19_Recovery_Period.pdf

If the individual is unvaccinated or partially vaccinated, may return from
domestic travel after:
• 10 days from return.
OR
• Being tested for COVID-19 three to five days after return and
receiving a negative result.[/quote]
