BB TEST page 2021-22 Covid Safety

My child has been exposed to COVID. What are the next steps if your child is unvaccinated and asymptomatic?

Your child should not attend school. A quarantine period of 14 days remains the safest option for close contacts who are not fully vaccinated. Based on guidance from the CDC, the following options to shorten quarantine may be acceptable alternatives depending upon local circumstances and resources:

Quarantine can end after Day 10 if NO symptoms have been reported during daily monitoring;

--OR--

Quarantine can end after Day 7 if a diagnostic specimen (collected on Day 5 or later) tests negative and if NO symptoms have been reported during daily monitoring. However, quarantine cannot be discontinued earlier than after Day 7.

Should your child meet either of these criteria and quarantine is ended early, all of the following must be implemented:

Daily symptom monitoring continues through Day 14; AND
Strict adherence to all recommended mitigation strategies including correct and consistent face mask use, physical distancing, and self-monitoring for COVID symptoms through Day 14; AND
If any symptoms develop, your child should immediately isolate. Contact his/her health care provider to determine if testing is needed and how long the child should be excluded from school/child care.

Note: For persons that are unable to comply with correct and consistent face mask use such as young children and persons with a disability or medical condition that makes wearing a mask unsafe, a shorter quarantine option may NOT be used and these persons must quarantine for a full 14 days.
