During higher covid transmission periods and before vaccines were available to all age groups, schools chose universal masking as a primary strategy to avoid quarantines and disruptions of learning. During lower transmission periods, Ouray School supports additional mitigation strategies to avoid quarantines during cluster and outbreak response.
You are exempt from quarantine during cluster cases and outbreaks if you meet one or more of the following criteria.
- Vaccination. Up to date with recommended COVID-19 vaccination
- Previous documented COVID-19. Viral test confirmed case of COVID-19 in the last 90 days
- Masking. You and the case were wearing a well-fitting mask during exposure
- Screening. Participating in weekly COVID-19 screening and will continue to participate for an additional two weeks, or you opt into the Test to Stay program outlined below.
Following an exposure, Ouray School requires that you continue to monitor for symptoms and wear a well-fitting mask consistently and correctly around others for a full 10 days.
