The Ohio Department of Health (“ODH”) has issued two new documents to assist school districts in remaining open during the 2021-2022 school years while the COVID-19 pandemic persists.
The first document, which is entitled “K-12 Quarantine in Ohio”, focuses on ODH’s goal of keeping all students in school five days a week. The document discusses personal mitigation strategies to lessen the likelihood of quarantine, as well as proper quarantine procedures.
The second document, which is entitled “Face Mask Research”, discusses a number of studies, including those that involve children, regarding the effectiveness of face masks in reducing the risk of various infections.
