NEWS on COVID-19 in Louisiana: Louisiana public schools allowed shorter quarantines after officials approve new coronavirus rules
“State health officials Monday gave public schools and others the go ahead to relax quarantine rules during the coronavirus pandemic after the federal Centers for Disease Control and Prevention loosened its guidelines.
Under the new policy, students, teachers and staff can end their quarantine after seven days if they test negative for the coronavirus and show no symptoms and after 10 days without a test if no symptoms surface.
The previous policy required quarantines of 14 days for students and others who come in close contact with someone who tested positive.
State Superintendent of Education Cade Brumley said last week the 14-day rule was posing problems for schools and that most students sent home were because of the quarantine rule, not because they tested positive.
‘We support the decision of the Louisiana Department of Health to align guidance with the updated recommendations by the CDC," Brumley said in a statement. "It's important that our schools are open and functioning properly.’"
