Columbus City Schools has updated its quarantine protocols to be in line with the Ohio Department of Health’s latest guidance from Monday. Students and staff can stay in schools after an in-school COVID-19 exposure as long as they wear a mask for 14 days after their last day of exposure, monitor for COVID-19 symptoms and isolate and get tested if they start to experience COVID-19 symptoms. Columbus City Schools will continue to require universal masking indoors. Students and staff who are currently in quarantine can return to class Friday, if they don’t have any COVID symptoms.
