Updated COVID-19 Quarantine & Isolation Guidelines
In an effort to protect our community against the most recent surge of COVID-19, Fulton County Schools has updated its proactive strategies based on the latest Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and Georgia Department of Public Health recommendations.
Isolation: Anyone who tests positive for the virus must isolate at home for five (5) days. After the 5-day isolation period, students/staff can return to school if they are asymptomatic and continue to wear a mask around others for five (5) additional days. It is very important that parents keep their children home if they are exhibiting COVID-19 symptoms (even beyond the 5 days if their symptoms have not improved or resolved).
Quarantine: Students and staff who have been directly exposed due to a school exposure to COVID-19 can stay in school as long as they continue to wear a mask for ten (10) days after the exposure.
The district will continue to closely monitor healthcare guidelines and will adapt its protocols as needed. We also strongly encourage families to participate in the vaccination and testing opportunities available to ensure we can have school with minimal disruptions to the learning process. Please follow public health guidelines and report any positive COVID-19 cases to the Parent or Employee portals.
