Quarantine Information: Questions?  Contact Nurse Kelly

The Illinois Department of Public Health suggests the 7 day quarantine option NOT BE USED for schools. We may use the 10 day quarantine option but students should be tested 48 hours prior to the release date to return to school.  Ultimately, the CDC still recommends a 14 day quarantine.

• Quarantine can end after Day 10 without testing and if a student has no symptoms.

With both options the following additional criteria through day 14 must be met: • correct and consistent mask use (including within homes), • social distancing, hand and cough hygiene, hand and cough hygiene, environmental cleaning and disinfection, avoiding crowds, ensuring adequate indoor ventilation, monitoring for symptoms of COVID-19 illness, and minimizing contact with persons at increased risk for severe illness, including vulnerable and congregate populations. 

Monitoring can be conducted using any method acceptable by the local public health authorities and can include self-monitoring using an approved checklist of signs and symptoms. Please use the potential symptoms listed on the Teacherease daily check-in as a guide.
