• Fully vaccinated students and employees whose close contact occurred in any setting - 
• Students for whom it’s been 14 days since the full course of their initial vaccination (whether or not they are boosted) may continue to attend school if they test negative on Day 5 and wear upgraded masks for 10 days after their last date of exposure.

• Staff for whom it’s been 14 days since the full course of their initial vaccination and who have been boosted if eligible - may continue to attend work if they test negative on Day 5 , and wear upgraded masks for 10 days after their last date of exposure.

• Staff and students who had a positive COVID-19 diagnosis within the last 90 days do not need to quarantine or test after exposure as long as they remain asymptomatic.

• Partially vaccinated employees (initially fully vaccinated but not “up to date,” meaning they are eligible for a booster but have not been boosted) whose close contact occurred in any setting - may continue to attend work if they test between Day 3 and Day 5, wear upgraded masks for 10 days after their last date of exposure and do not eat and drink with others. Employees in this category must fully quarantine while outside of work.

• Unvaccinated students whose close contact occurred in a school setting and whom school staff can verify were fully masked during the close contact are still eligible for Modified Quarantine if they test negative on Day 5 after the exposure. Students under Modified Quarantine are now required to wear upgraded masks for 10 days after their last date of exposure and, when eating and drinking, must be 6 feet away from others.

• Unvaccinated students whose close contact occurred in a non-school settings (i.e. at home, a birthday party or a movie theater) or whose close contact occurred while either person was unmasked, as well as unvaccinated employees in any setting, will need to quarantine according to LACDPH guidelines, which mirror the requirements for positive cases: they must isolate for a minimum of 5 days and can return on day 6 if they are asymptomatic, have a negative test on day 5, and continue to wear an upgraded mask for 10 days after their last date of exposure.

• A photograph of the negative test with the individual’s name and test date. 
• A signed school-specific attestation form confirming the test was administered properly and shows results for the individual submitting it (please contact your school for a link to the form). 

• Wear masks outdoors. LACDPH has clarified their interpretation of this guidance to mean that everyone will wear masks during recess, nutrition, lunch, passing periods, and other campus activities, except when eating and drinking, unless the activity is closely supervised and a 6’ distance between participants can be ensured.

• Requirement for staff to wear upgraded masks and a recommendation for students to wear upgraded masks. Per new LACDPH guidelines, all District employees have access to upgraded masks, which are currently available for staff at our schools and offices.

• This important survey provides us with valuable information on our continual efforts to provide a safe and drug-free, positive learning environment for MBUSD students.
