Revised Close Contact Quarantine Procedures

As of December 2, 2020, the CDC has amended their guidance to allow two shorter options for the quarantine (stay at home) period after a close contact with a COVID positive person. Based on new CDC guidance, as well as guidance from the Texas Education Agency (TEA), the stay at home period can end for individuals experiencing no symptoms as described at page linked above.
