Updated COVID-19 Health Guidance
If someone has COVID-19 symptoms, they should still get tested and separate from others immediately. It is recommended that they stay home until they have had no fever without taking fever-reducing medicine and other COVID-19 symptoms have improved for at least 24 hours. If they test positive for COVID-19 but have no symptoms, there is no need to stay home, but precautions outlined in the updated guidelines should be taken upon return to school. The DOE will continue to provide COVID-19 tests in schools upon request. Refer to the School Year 2023–24 InfoHub for more health information. Updated guidance on COVID-19 policies for staff is also available on the Infohub.
Our schools work hard to avoid the spread of illnesses at school. This is one of the reasons students are required to get certain vaccines before starting school for the first time. For more information visit the DOE Health Guidance Page.
