Is daily testing needed @statesdj ? In CA we test close contacts every three days, a negative test on day 6 and no further testing required.
In Georgia: Student close contacts continue attending school w/no symptoms & test negative every day for 7 days. nytimes.com/2021/09/19/hea…

@CDCgov says that it “does not have enough evidence” to support the test to stay/modified quarantine approach. Instead, it recommends that close contacts who have not been fully vaccinated quarantine for as long as 14 days.
Roughly 2% of school-based close contacts ultimately tested positive for the virus, researchers found, which means that schools were keeping 49 uninfected students out of class every time one student tested positive. #testtostay #BackToSchool
