Quarantining

The following quarantine steps will be followed for any reported cases in MUSD.

For those who are vaccinated, MUSD will follow the CDPH Fully Vaccinated People Guidance regarding quarantine. This flow chart will answer questions about close student contact with COVID-19.

For those who are unvaccinated with both parties wearing a mask in the indoor classroom setting, unvaccinated students who are close contacts (more than 15 minutes over a 24-hour period within 0-6 feet indoors) may undergo a modified 10-day quarantine.

For those who are unvaccinated close contacts who were not wearing masks or for whom the infected individual was not wearing a mask during the indoor exposure; or unvaccinated students as described above.

For these contacts, those who remain asymptomatic, meaning they have NOT had any symptoms, may discontinue self-quarantine under the following conditions:

1. Quarantine can end after Day 10 from the date of last exposure without testing; OR

2. Quarantine can end after Day 7 if a diagnostic specimen is collected after Day 5 from the date of last exposure and tests negative.

To discontinue quarantine before 14 days following last known exposure, asymptomatic close contacts must:

1. Continue daily self-monitoring for symptoms through Day 14 from last known exposure; AND

2. Follow all recommended non-pharmaceutical interventions (e.g., wearing a mask when around others, hand washing, avoiding crowds) through Day 14 from last known exposure.

If any symptoms develop during this 14-day period, the exposed person must immediately isolate, get tested, and contact their healthcare provider with any questions regarding their care.
