[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]CDC has updated guidelines to reduce reduced quarantine days. Probably means that there was never a need to quarantine for as many days as was being done 😐[/quote]

Isn't it longer now for students who haven't received the booster?

[i]Now the agency is saying only people who got booster shots can skip quarantine if they wear masks in all settings for at least 10 days.

That’s a change. Previously, people who were fully vaccinated — which the CDC has defined as having two doses of the Pfizer or Moderna vaccines, or one dose of the Johnson & Johnson vaccine — could be exempt from quarantine.[/i]

Exactly. While the quarantine period itself might be shorter, this updated guidance expands the universe of people who need to quarantine, especially the middle school set who are not yet eligible for a booster. [/quote]

This is a cdc guideline. It is not currently APS policy. Also, 5-11 year olds clearly haven’t had a booster but are all newly vaccinated if vaccinated at all. Until/unless APS changes it’s policy, full vaccinated people do not need to quarantine for a close contact, booster or not. [/quote]

But APS already sent notice (via Twitter, but still) that there will be updated guidance before kids return to school. [/quote]
