Updated Close Contact Quarantine Guidance
Recently, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) updated guidelines for quarantine of those who were a close contact of someone who tested positive for COVID-19. The guidelines were approved by the Wisconsin Department of Health Services and Waukesha County Public Health. As such, we will adopt these new guidelines:
- A 14-day quarantine remains the safest option for close contacts of someone with COVID-19.
- A child’s official quarantine will be shortened to 10 days, provided the individual is asymptomatic and continues to monitor for symptoms for the full 14 days.
- If the quarantined child receives a negative test result (PCR or antigen) that was collected on or after day 6 of quarantine, the quarantine may be shortened to a minimum of 7 days once our health team receives proof of the negative test result and the student remains asymptomatic.
- Please note: a positive test will result in a new isolation period of ten days.

Please note, this only applies to close contact quarantines, it does not change quarantines for people who have tested positive for COVID-19.
