OR Education Updates COVID-19 School Guidance

(Salem, OR) -- The Oregon Department of Education is releasing new guidance for school districts to deal with the pandemic after the mask requirement is lifted on March 11th. Contact tracing will go away. If a student or staff member gets COVID, the groups affected would be notified. Infected students should stay home for five days. They can return 24 hours after their fever breaks, but should wear a mask for the next five days. The Test to Stay program would turn into an enhanced exposure program for people at higher risk.
