Students and teachers no longer have to quarantine after a COVID exposure if they don't have symptoms regardless of vaccination status.
The district said the move comes as the positivity rate remains low and while vaccination rates increase.But health experts say even with cases level off, people need to be careful.
“We’re in the coasting phase, and many people thing that because our test positivity rate is a little bit up that this may just be the calm before the storm, there isn’t going to be much of a storm because of the amount of people who had omicron and high vaccination rate, but nevertheless we probably will see a slight increase in cases with BA.2,” said Dr. Peter Chin-Hong of UCSF.
The changes at San Jose Unified School District will go into effect after spring break on Monday, April 18.
