Technical Difficulties: The video is not playing that was sent out. The video updated that we do currently have covid cases with students. Those students have been quarantined. This has caused close contacts and those have been notified. That being said, CDC guidance covers that if you have been vaccinated ,you do NOT need to quarantine, but you will need to wear a mask in the building if you are a close contact. In addition quarantine rules are 10 days after first symptom for positive cases. If you are a close contact and non vaccinated your quarantine may end after 7 days with a negative test between day 5 and day 7. Also, it is strongly recommended that face coverings are used in our buildings to ensure we are not spreading the COVID 19 virus. Masks are not required, but are strongly recommended.
