[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Why does your daughter need to quarantine for 10 days? I thought none of the guidelines included 10 days.[/quote]

Isn't it 10 days if you test positive or if you are an unvaccinated close contact?[/quote]

Not anymore… 5 days now, unless you’re still sick after that. I think. [/quote]

It has not yet changed in schools. 10 days at this time. [/quote]

No, you’re incorrect. Duran sent an email just this week about the change. “ New CDC Guidelines for Quarantine Following Exposure:  On Dec. 27, the CDC provided an update reducing the recommended quarantine period from 10 days to five days for fully vaccinated individuals and revised the definition for full vaccination. APS will adhere to the new guidelines, and we have posted a graphic outlining the revised procedures online. To be considered fully vaccinated under the new guidelines, individuals must have received a booster in addition to the two initial doses of vaccine, if it has been more than six months since they received their second dose of the Pfizer or Moderna vaccine, or if it has been more than two months since receiving the J&J https://www.apsva.us/school-year-2021-22/health-safety-information/contact-tracing-quarantine-isolation/[/quote]

Actually they are right, the new guidelines take affect 1/3. [/quote]

That still means almost all of middle school and half of high school are only considered “partially vaccinated”,and will have to be out five days every time.[/quote]
