EPS Travel Advisory
As sent earlier today from Dr. Cabral:
With February break only days away, we would like to remind all staff and families of the EPS Travel Guidelines outlined in page 25 in the Return to School Playbook found HERE.
On July 24, 2020, the Governor, issued COVID-19 Order No. 45 adopting a mandatory 14-day quarantine for travelers arriving in Massachusetts. The effective date of the Order is 8/1/2020.
Families and staff members should be aware of the content of the order and notify school officials of their need to quarantine after returning from out of the country or a higher risk state (the current list of COVID-19 lower-risk states can be found here). We require everyone to follow the guidelines below to protect the health and safety of our entire EPS community.
If a PCR test is taken on day 5 (or more) after return to Massachusetts and is negative AND there are no symptoms, student may exit quarantine on day 8 after return. Continue to watch for symptoms for 14 days from exposure. Students will be able attend all classes remotely during quarantines, but may NOT participate in other in-person school activities, including athletics. PCR testing is required as a rapid antigen test may result in errors/exposures.
