The purpose of this data is to provide MCPS families and staff with a transparent summary of confirmed COVID-19 positive cases resulting in exclusion from school activities. A positive case indicates that the person has been tested and received a report confirming that they have the virus. Individuals who test positive for COVID-19 need to quarantine for a period of 10 days from the date of symptom onset or date the test was administered, whichever came first (may return to school on day 11). Individuals who test negative for COVID-19 need to quarantine for a period of 7 days from the date of symptom onset or date the test was administered, whichever came first (may return to school on day 8). Individuals who do not test after a COVID-19 exposure need to quarantine for 10 days after the most recent exposure (may return to school on day 11).
Quarantine guidelines updated on 9/3/2021 to reflect updated VDH guidance effective 8/18/2021.
