More frequent testing may be needed for students, teachers, staff, and adult volunteers who are not fully vaccinated and engaged in school athletics and other extracurricular activities. Testing at least once per week is recommended for high-risk sports and extracurricular activities (those that cannot be done outdoors or with masks) at all community transmission levels. In areas of substantial-to-high community transmission levels, testing twice per week is recommended for participation in these activities. Additionally, if the school is not tracking COVID-19 vaccination status of participants and support teacher and staff screening testing should be encouraged.
Fully vaccinated students, teachers, and staff with no COVID-19 symptoms do not need to be tested following an exposure to someone with COVID-19. People who have tested positive for COVID-19 within the past 3 months and recovered do not need to get tested following an exposure as long as they do not develop new symptoms. Any fully vaccinated person who experiences symptoms consistent with COVID-19 should isolate themselves from others, be clinically evaluated for COVID-19, and tested for SARS-CoV-2 if indicated.
People with COVID-19 have reported a wide range of symptoms from no or mild symptoms to severe illness. Symptoms may appear 2-14 days after exposure to the SARS-CoV-2 virus. Because some of the symptoms of flu, common cold, and COVID-19 are similar, it is hard to tell the difference between them based on symptoms alone. Testing can help confirm a diagnosis, and inform medical treatment and care. Also, testing will confirm the need to isolate from others for at least 10 days and quarantine close contacts.
If the schools feel it's that unsafe, then students should work from home. We have been doing it for over a year so what is the difference.
Thank God we’re in Arizona now for our final year of our last kid in high school where the governor and legislature have said no to any more masks on kids.
All part of the plan to make daily life extremely difficult to live unless you are vaccinated.
Umm… the CDC is AWARE that the “vaccinated” can still get it too… right?
Exactly!
Like the NC State Baseball Team. The entire team was vaccinated and 8 players tested positive for the Covid 19 right before the college world series. They could not play in the game even though NC State was favored to win.
When did un-elected bureaucrats from a low level agency ever get the power to issue orders to citizens of the United States? When did this happen? I do not remember ever voting for this crap. The CDC can go to hell.
I guess the CDC didn’t get the memo: they aren’t in charge of schools.
Except the schools will do exactly what the CDC recommends.
No one should comply. They are going to keep this going forever if people don’t fight back.
Are they TRYING to end in person schooling?
Technically they’re not, it’s just ‘guidance’. Of course this is just gaslighting liberals all over the country, especially on school boards, to cause trouble.
It's clear that teachers' unions care as much about children as communists care about workers.
The difference is that the kids aren’t learning squat at home on the computer. And just who are the unvaccinated kids going to endanger?
Don’t know if the masks will keep them safe from the vaccinated kids when the vaccinated kids get sick
Home School Legal Defense Association
about 35 cents a day.
We were members for more than 11 years as we homeschooled.
Totally worth it.
Let ‘Em.
Is the sister of the main Russia Russia Russia trump hating prosecutor till in charge over there at the CDC?
No experimental substance for kids. Parents don’t be idiotic.
“ Umm… the CDC is AWARE that the “vaccinated” can still get it too… right?”
Get what?
This isn’t about covid immunity.
👍👍👍
Absolutely.
More criminal government. We live in East Germany, folks.
