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 isolate for a period of 5days from the date of symptom onset or date the test was administered, whichever came first (may return to school on day 6).  

Quarantine guidelines updated on 1/7/2022 to reflect updated VDH guidance effective Dec 30, 2021.
