COVID-19 Resources
Quarantine Information
VDH states that individuals who have had “close contact” with someone suspected or
confirmed positive for COVID-19 are expected to quarantine at home if they:
1. are not vaccinated; or
2. have completed the primary series of Pfizer or Moderna vaccine over 6 months ago and
are not boosted; or
3. have completed the primary series of J&J vaccine over 2 months ago and are not
boosted.
Individuals who have been boosted or have completed the primary series of
Pfizer or Moderna vaccine within the last 6 months or have completed the
primary series of J&J within the last 2 months are not required to quarantine.
Students, faculty and staff who are fully vaccinated and/or boosted within the last six months
(or those with natural immunity) will not be expected to quarantine after having exposure to an
individual who tested positive for COVID. They are, however, required to wear a mask for ten
days and test on day five if possible or sooner if symptoms develop.
If a parent does not want his or her child to wear a mask, the student will remain out for the full
10 days. If the parent agrees to have the child in a mask, the school has the right to enforce
that decision and send them home if the child does not comply.
The Virginia Department of Health recommends that all who have had “close contact” take a
COVID test on day 5, if possible.
