The Center for Disease Control (CDC) recently updated their guidance on isolation and quarantine as it relates to COVID infections and exposures.  Additionally, the Pennsylvania Department of Health (PADOH) reiterated this guidance for Pennsylvania Schools.  This message is intended to provide additional information and help you make the best decision about your child.  
In summary, the new guidance states:

• Individuals diagnosed with COVID-19 should stay home and isolate from others until they have been fever-free for at least 24 hours (without using fever-reducing medication) and their symptoms are improving overall.
  (NOTE: This is a significant change from previous COVID-19 guidance, which recommended 5 days of isolation regardless of fever or symptom status.)
• It is still recommended to wear a mask for 5 days following isolation time, as well as other additional precautions to protect others such as: diligent hand hygiene, cough etiquette, distancing, and testing.
