Students benefit from in-person learning, and safely returning to in-person instruction continues to be a priority. Promoting vaccination can help schools safely return to in-person learning as well as extracurricular activities and sports.
CDC recommends universal indoor masking by all* students (ages 2 years and older), staff, teachers, and visitors to K-12 schools, regardless of vaccination status.
New CDC guidance has reduced the recommended time for isolation and quarantine periods to five days. For details see CDC’s page on Quarantine and Isolation.
CDC also recommends schools maintain at least 3 feet of physical distance between students within classrooms to reduce transmission risk.
Screening testing, improved ventilation, handwashing, cleaning and disinfection, and staying home when sick are important layers of prevention to keep schools safe.
