Health Guidance: Return to School After Exclusion as of July 9, 2020
 
Once a student or employee is excluded from the school environment, they may return if they satisfy the recommendations of the CDC and the local Health Department.
 
Current guidelines are:
1. I think or know I had COVID-19, and I had symptoms You may return to school after: 3 days with no fever AND symptoms improved AND approved by local health department (typically 10 – 14 days since symptoms first appeared) St. Louis City allows release from primary care provider.
2. I tested positive for COVID-19 but had no symptoms You may return to school: if you continue to have no symptoms AND 10 days have passed since test.
 
Depending on your healthcare provider’s advice and availability of testing, you might get tested to see if you still have COVID-19. If you will be tested, you can be around others after you receive two negative test results in a row, at least 24 hours apart. Students may also return if they are approved to do so, in writing, by the student’s health care provider.
