LANSING MI (WKZO AM/FM) – The state Department of Health and Human Services has amended its guidelines concerning COVID-19 exposure in K-12 schools.
Previously, those exposed to the virus were advised to test daily or quarantine for seven days.
The new guidelines remove the quarantine element, unless masks were not in use.
The department said in a statement that “the state is committed to ensuring Michigan students and educators are as safe as possible in the classroom. This guidance will help K-12 schools maintain in-person learning by outlining mitigation strategies when students are exposed to another student infected with COVID-19.”
