Dear FCPS Students and Parents,
I would like to provide an update on the current COVID-19 impact to FCPS. As of 12-4-2020, FCPS has zero COVID-19 positive cases among students or staff, and 23 students PreK-12 are under quarantine due to close contact exposure.
Effective at 5:00 pm on Thursday, December 3 2020, new quarantine rules were announced in the latest Directed Health Measure which matches the new recommendation from the CDC.
Options to discontinue quarantine:
● Quarantine may discontinue without testing under the following conditions:
o At least ten (10) days have passed since close contact exposure AND
o No COVID-19 symptoms have developed and the person self-monitors for COVID-19 symptoms and wears a facial covering through day 14 since last close contact.
● Quarantine may discontinue with testing under the following conditions:
o At least seven (7) days have passed since close contact exposure, no COVID-19 symptoms have developed AND
o Results of a diagnostic specimen test (molecular or antigen) is negative that was collected no earlier than five (5) days since last close contact exposure AND
o The person self-monitors for COVID-19 symptoms and wears a facial covering through day 14 since last close contact.
Thank You,
Tim Heckenlively, Superintendent
