Dear Walgrove Community,
Here is the gist of the updated COVID guidance, as of March 21, 2023:
Asymptomatic positive cases isolate for five days and afterward may return to school or work without testing negative.
Symptomatic positive cases isolate for five days and afterward may return to school or work without testing negative IF their symptoms have diminished and they have had NO FEVER FOR 24 HOURS WITHOUT FEVER REDUCING MEDICATIONS.
Symptomatic positive cases must mask upon their return for 10 days unless they have two negative test results from tests taken one day apart after Day 5.
So, no testing required in order to return on Day 6. But testing required to return unmasked.
Close contacts include all those sharing the same indoor space (if under 400K cubic feet; our classrooms are approximately 12K cubic feet) for 48 hours before the case tested positive or experienced symptoms through the remainder of the isolation period. This is whether or not they were masked. Outdoor contacts are not close contacts, whether or not they were masked.
Close contacts are recommended but not required to mask and should test within 3-5 days after exposure.
All parents of positive cases should upload their positive results to the Parent Portal and notify the school (the teacher plus Jackie, Tracy and me -- jxr0047@lausd.net, tracy.mccarthy@lausd.net, andrea.kittelson1@lausd.net)
Please see more details here.
