        Does anyone have an idea how the quarantine would work for siblings? Imagine this scenario:

My middle schooler is exposed and told to quarantine on day one. She takes a test on day five, and is positive. She can go back on day 10, right? Her two siblings are then out for at least 10 days right? If I test them at the same time as my eldest, can they go back earlier?

Are they vaccinated also?

Just to be clear for parents because APS is not making this clear. There is not going to be much quarantining unless kids actually test positive for COVID.

1. You are VERY unlikely to get notice of exposure to COVID. If both kids are wearing masks [b]and are 3 feet distanced[/b], they will NOT be considered close contacts and you will not be notified. So quarantining is really only going to be for kids who actually test positive, not because your kid sat next to someone who tested positive.

2. Vaccinated kids (middle and high) will not be required to quarantine in the unusual case that they are identified as close contacts.[/quote]

This is not happening. There will be no enforced distancing.
