If you are diagnosed with Covid-19, these are the guidelines for isolation:
Generally speaking, if you have no symptoms or symptoms are mild, you should isolate for 5 days. The first day you experience symptoms or test positive is considered day 0. On day 6, you can return to activities while wearing a high-quality, well-fitted mask. A mask should be worn through day 10.
Please understand that guidelines are constantly changing and our district protocols may change based on NJ State Department of Education or Department of Health recommendations.
