HIDOE Updates

The Department released updates to its COVID-19 Health and Safety Guidance on Monday to incorporate the Department of Health (DOH) and CDC’s latest guidance for K-12 schools. Some of the significant updates include:
    • No longer requiring quarantine for non-school exposure;
    • Prioritizing screening testing for high-risk activities such as before and after events and following breaks; and
    • Removing the recommendations for ‘ohana bubbles or cohorting and physical distancing.
The DOH has since made subsequent updates to its guidance for schools this week that the Department is now working to review and incorporate into our guidance. Updates to the Department's COVID protocols for participation in athletic activities for student-athletes and staff are also forthcoming.
