ANCHORAGE, Alaska - In response to updated guidance from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, the Anchorage School District has reduced its own requirement for how long students and staff must stay home from school following a positive COVID-19 case.for the time people need to isolate after testing positive for COVID-19, and for those who need to quarantine following a close contact situation.

On Thursday, Alaska’s largest school district announced it was similarly updating its own rules for isolation following a positive COVID-19 case.
“For ASD, the amount of time to stay home if you test positive for COVID-19 has been reduced from 10 days to 5 days,” Superintendent Deena Bishop wrote inIf a student tests positive, the updated school district guidelines state that after five days, they “may return to school when you have not had a fever in 24 hours without fever reducing medicine, as long as your other symptoms are improving.”
Students may also return to school if they test negative for COVID-19 as long as they have not had a fever in the last 24 hours. If a student does not get a COVID-19 test, they must stay home for the full five days and can return after that period, as long as they have not had a fever in the last 24 hours.
