Once My Child’s School Meets The Recommended Benchmarks, Can They Reopen?
The Arizona Department of Health Services developed school reopening benchmarks at the request of the education community as a guide to help school districts determine when it is safe to return to in-person instruction. We know from other countries that reopening schools may be lower risk in communities with lower community transmission, which is why one of the benchmarks is two consecutive weeks with the percentage of positive tests in the community below 7%. School boards and administrators make the final decision about reopening.
Schools that choose to re-open for in-person classes must have a mitigation plan to protect student and staff health. This plan may include modifying classroom layouts to promote physical distancing; regular handwashing and use of facial coverings; and enhanced cleaning and proper ventilation.
Schools are required to share their mitigation plans on their website prior to offering on-site support services and/or in-person instruction.

What If I Get COVID-19?
If you have tested positive for COVID-19 and you are sent home to recover, you’ll be asked to stay isolated at home to help prevent the disease from spreading to other people in your home and community. Other people you live with and those you had close contact with during the time since you became sick will be asked to take specific actions to quarantine themselves, monitor for symptoms, and prevent further spread to others.
|
How Long Should I Stay Home?
The CDC has different guidelines for isolation depending on your medical history, whether you have been tested, and whether you’ve experienced COVID-19 symptoms. Public Health has created a questionnaire to make it easier. Just answer a few simple questions and we’ll tell you how long you should stay home.
