Superintendents,
In addition to the memorandum and Q&A we forwarded your way on March 11, the Department of Education has been working with the Department of Health and we have received the following additional recommendations that many of you asked about:
* Anyone (students/faculty/staff/etc.) who go on foreign travel, to any country, must self-isolate for 14 days upon return.
* Anyone (students/faculty/staff/etc.) who go on a cruise, anywhere, must self-isolate for 14 days upon return.
* There should be no mass gatherings, which are defined by the CDC as "1,000-25,000 people, but the practical application is any gathering that would strain local resources." We leave it to your discretion for events with less than 1,000 people.
* If a student/faculty/staff has been exposed to a person with confirmed COVID-19, and that student/faculty/staff has been in a classroom, we still recommend that you NOT close the school/college/program, but we do recommend that you clear the classroom and take necessary steps to sanitize the room.
And as always, you can learn more about COVID-19 preparations, signs and symptoms, and guidance at https://linkprotect.cudasvc.com/url?a=http%3a%2f%2fwww.fldoe.org%2fem-response%2findex.stml.&c=E,1,7tdhNCHgl5PDO2lQeQJG8XiHJmiFlL_H0TSw2V17HRL2JmGq788pzqI0NR_fw3O_kaxEzG854rCPdhRhQYGdMIx_MPC_PNbzL74KPZC7dKFn0uZv&typo=1
