[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Given the shortened isolation and quarantine guidelines without proof of a negative test and the fact that someone who tested positive could still being contagious from days 5-10, why CDC did not actually specify what it meant by a well-fitting mask to be worn for the 5 days post-isolation or 10 days if one is vaccinated and boosted is mystifying.

The Omicron surge will peak soon and will probably be over by the end of the month or mid-February at the latest. If ACPS and other Nova school districts are serious about keeping disruptions to a minimum during the surge, they should distribute a supply of high-quality masks to all families who want them and strongly encourage their use, at least until the middle of February. With [b]the shortage in testing, purchasing better masks is the one thing school districts can use the millions they received in CARES/ESSER money on to proactively to keep schools open as smoothly as possible[/b].[/quote]

+1. Since I’ve heard nothing from ACPS about distribution of better masks, I’m going to assume they have yet to be purchased.[/quote]
