What is the quarantining criteria?[/quote]

"When AHD learns of a COVID-19 case who resides in the City of Alexandria, they contact the individual directly to provide guidance and to identify close contacts. Close contacts are people who were within 6 feet of the case during their infectious period for a cumulative total of 15 minutes or more over a 24-hour period or people who had direct exposure to the case’s respiratory secretions. We are collaborating with AHD to identify and reach out to close contacts at the location during this timeframe."

Quarantine for 14 days.  [/quote]

There is a K-12 exception:

A close contact is anyone who is within 6 ft or less of the person with COVID for 15 minutes or more in a 24 hour period.
In indoor K-12 settings, a student who is within 3 to 6 feet of an infected student is not considered a close contact as long as both students are wearing masks and the school has other prevention strategies in place.
             This exception does not apply to teachers, staff, or other adults in indoor K-12 settings.
The following individuals do not need to quarantine, even if they are identified as a close contact:
              Individuals who were fully vaccinated at the time they were exposed.
             Individuals who had COVID-19 within the last 90 days of their exposure.

Poster with quarantined child.  Interestingly, when I asked the health department about the masks the person said, "masks cannot be trusted" and that they are not considered mitigating for younger students.  [/quote]
