The Platteville School District released updated COVID-19 guidelines this week. The biggest change is a decreased emphasis on tracking, tracing and testing. Under the guidelines, students who exposed to COVID-19 do not have to quarantine instead, they are asked to wear masks and monitor their symptoms, if any, for 10 days. Students who test positive should stay home for five days from the start of symptoms and wear a mask for another five days upon returning to school. For sick students who test negative or who do not get tested, the district advises not returning to school until symptoms improve and any fever subsides.
