The CHOP recommendations — which still include universal masking in schools
but drop asymptomatic testing for staff and students, and lower quarantine
lengths — reflect a shifting analysis that prioritizes in-person education
over the risks of what the research group described as a largely milder
omicron variant.
Guidance released by PolicyLab on Wednesday and endorsed by the hospital’s
leadership advises that students or staff who test positive for the virus be
allowed to return to school five days after symptoms began, if their
symptoms disappear or are resolving, rather than the prior 10-day quarantine
recommendation.
And those who are close contacts of someone with COVID-19 not in their
household should be allowed to stay in school as long as they are
asymptomatic and masked for seven days — what PolicyLab is calling “mask
to stay.” |
