Dear Superintendents:
The Illinois Department of Public Health (IDPH) announced yesterday that schools should continue to follow the current IDPH COVID-19 School Guidance, including for isolation and quarantine times. IDPH has adopted the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s (CDC) recommendation to reduce the number of days for isolation and quarantine for the general public.
The CDC expects to issue updated guidance for isolation and quarantine in school settings shortly. We understand that you are eager for this guidance, and we share your sense of urgency. At this time, please continue to follow the guidance currently in place. ISBE is working with IDPH to update the School Guidance as soon as we know more.
Thank you,
