Reopening schools while navigating COVID-19 guidelines may feel overwhelming but resources are being provided to help the community, families, and schools to prepare. The state has provided the COVID-19 School Manual on the Coronavirus website. The manual states: “In Utah, we consider the education sector critical to the long-term health and economic success of our state. We recommend students, teachers, and other employees who work in the education sector follow the quarantine and isolation guidelines for essential or critical infrastructure sectors. This means public health has modified quarantine guidelines for students, teachers, and employees who are exposed to someone who tests positive for COVID-19…Parents may choose to send their child to school during quarantine if their child does not have any symptoms of COVID-19.” The COVID-19 School Manual is available at www.coronavirus.utah.gov/
