COVID Quarantine Guidelines from Leavenworth County Health Department
Now that we have almost made it through our first full week of the 2021-2022 school year, we wanted to remind parents of the COVID-19 Quarantine Guidelines from Leavenworth County Health Department:
- If your student tests positive for COVID-19, they will be quarantined by the health department for ten days.
- Close contacts in the school setting will be quarantined for ten days, unless they have a negative test after day five.
- Household close contacts will be quarantined for twenty days.
- A quarantine release from the health department will be required for positive persons and close contacts.
- If an individual is a close contact but is FULLY vaccinated and asymptomatic, they will NOT be required to quarantine.
This information is subject to change based on guidance from our Leavenworth County Health Department.
