The Park City School District this month loosened its quarantine protocols, its superintendent said, implementing a policy that is less strict than federal and state guidelines in a bid to keep more students in school. The change affects “close contacts” of students who contract the coronavirus. If a student tests positive for COVID-19, the student who sits at the desk next to them during class wouldn’t necessarily have to quarantine if both students wore masks for the entire time, Superintendent Jill Gildea indicated. Previously, the district required any close contact of a student who tested positive to quarantine for 14 days.
