This week we look at the percentage of schools affected by closures across individual states year-to-date and frame the types of quarantine modifications we are seeing.

1.   To date we have tracked 624 districts affected by closures (up from 605) across 2,359 schools.   Closure events have reached a plateau the last few weeks. Note a "closure event" is either an entire district closing all its schools (that would be one closure event) or an individual school closing within a district:

- The most stringent remains a 10-14 day quarantine for close contacts, with no opportunity to test out.
- Next up is an at-home quarantine allowing for testing out during the 5-8 day period.
- Then there is a "test to stay" program that allows students to return to school if they agree to be tested daily.  In mask-optional regions we often see these students being required to mask while at school during this period.
- Finally, we have seen examples of masked "close contacts"- inside of three feet - don't need to test out but can remain in school if they wear a mask.

Vaccinated students are often excluded from close contact definitions, and we are seeing an increasing number of cases where a student who has had Covid 19 in the previous 90 days is also excluded from close contact rules.
