In correlation with the updated CDC guidance on COVID-19 isolation requirements, WCS will immediately begin following their recommendations that took effect on Friday, March 1, 2024.
WCS will no longer require a 5-day isolation period following a positive COVID-19 test. Students may return to school following a positive COVID-19 test once they are fever-free for 24 hours without the use of fever-reducing medication and/or symptoms have improved.
“ The updated Respiratory Virus Guidance recommends that people stay home and away from others until at least 24 hours after both their symptoms are getting better overall, and they have not had a fever (and are not using fever-reducing medication).”
After returning from the “stay-at-home” period, it is recommended but not required to wear a mask for an additional 5 days.
Additional information from the CDC regarding this change can be found at Respiratory Virus Guidance Updates FAQs.
