[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I get the 10 thing day for isolation after a positive test (and that’s great)  but it seems over the top to make an exposed vaccinated kid with no symptoms stay out of school for ten days. Is that’s what is going to happen? I hope I’m missing something. [/quote]

Vaccinated close contacts do NOT have to quarantine unless they have symptoms[/quote]

But then what does this mean?

“ APS is pausing on the implementation of the revised CDC guidance regarding quarantine, reducing the recommended quarantine period from 10 days to 5 days for fully vaccinated individuals.”

[/quote]

When APS was going to follow the new CDC guidance, the quarantine period went from 10 to 5 days for those with symptoms. Look at the graphic above which is current. If vaccinated and no symptoms, they return to school. The change is that they are keeping the 10 day period  (as opposed to 5). Also, it drops the requirement to be boosted to be fully vaccinated.[/quote]

The real challenge after the five days is that it requires strict mask wearing when around others for five more days.  How is that possible for kids at school who eat lunch with their peers?  I feel like CDC should have come up with clear guidelines for school settings like they did before.[/quote]
