A student who has no symptoms, but tests positive for COVID-19, can return to school after at least 10 days have passed since they were tested and they remain symptom free.

At this time, vaccinations are not considered a factor when determining quarantine requirements for close contact exposures in our schools. Quarantine is determined by whether the exposed person was masked and/or whether they show symptoms.

No.

If your student was tested for COVID, they will need to remain home until you receive the results of the test.

If results are negative, symptoms have improved, and at least 72 hours have passed since their last fever without the use of fever-reducing medications and symptoms (e.g., cough, shortness of breath) have improved, then they can return to school.

Students testing positive for COVID-19 may return to school if:

• at least 10 days have passed since symptoms first appeared
• at least 72 hours have passed since their last fever without the use of fever-reducing medications and symptoms (e.g., cough, shortness of breath) have improved.

No, only direct exposures quarantine. Anyone who was contacted about possible direct exposure needs to monitor symptoms.

You can access the DPH quarantine calculator to help you determine quarantine length: https://dph.georgia.gov/covid-quarantine-calculator

Students who were possibly exposed to someone who tested positive for COVID-19 may discontinue quarantine as follows:

After 10 full days have passed since your most recent exposure occurred, if you fulfill BOTH of the following criteria:

1. Are NOT tested for COVID-19
2. Do not experience any symptoms during your monitoring period

OR

After 7 full days have passed since your most recent exposure occurred, if you fulfill all THREE of the following criteria:

1. Are tested for COVID-19,
   • The test should be a diagnostic test (PCR or antigen) and the specimen for your test may not be collected more than 48 hours before the time of planned quarantine discontinuation. If you plan to discontinue quarantine after 7 full days, it should not be collected before day 5 of your quarantine period.
2. Receive a negative result,
   • You may not discontinue quarantine until you have completed a minimum of 7 full days since your most recent exposure, even if you receive your negative test result earlier. If your result is positive, you must follow DPH isolation guidance https://dph.georgia.gov/isolation-contact
3. Do not experience any symptoms during your monitoring period.

Home tests are not acceptable methods of testing and will not be accepted as proof for a 7 day quarantine.

When a student quarantines due to exposure to someone who tested positive for COVID-19, quarantine starts the day after the last day of exposure.

If the household has a COVID-19 positive person, quarantine begins at the onset of the positive household member’s symptoms.

If the positive household member did not have symptoms, then the quarantine starts from the test date.

From Georgia DPH concerning quarantining after already testing positive:

• You do not need to isolate if you test positive within three months of a positive test you have already completed isolation for (unless you develop new symptoms).
  
  
• If you have developed new symptoms following a prior isolation and have tested positive again, you should complete isolation again.
  
  
• Additionally, if you have a new positive test 3 months after your prior infection, you will need to isolate and identify all close contacts for quarantine.
