Operative words

This document is intended to provide guidance regarding important prevention measures recommended to be in place within routine school opening plans, as well as outbreak mitigation requirements should a school experience an outbreak.... In order to accomplish full in-person learning, limited social distancing measures will be in place, as compared to the 2020-21 school year. This reduction in mitigation, along with low vaccination rates, and the emergence of Variants of Concern which have higher transmission rates, make the implementation of other mitigation measures, such as mask use, even more important.

Enforcement

Directive 048 ss. 5-6 (mandatory masking, testing, outbreak masking imposed by local health authorities)
