There has been widespread media coverage of the change in guidance regarding COVID-19 isolation.

Prestige Dance Studio will follow the guidance of Iowa Department of Public Health as we have throughout this school year which now states as follows:

Isolation (For those testing positive for COVID)

• A person who tests positive for COVID may return to school after five days of isolation if they are asymptomatic AND they wear a mask for the next five days (days 6-10) while at school and any school-sanctioned function/activity.
• If unable to wear a mask, the isolation requirement remains 10 days.
• Anyone with a fever (100.4+) and without fever reducing medication (ibuprofen/acetaminophen) must still stay home until they are fever free for 24 hours.
• If families choose, a person may isolate for 10 days after testing positive for COVID.

Quarantine (For those exposed to a COVID-positive individual)

• In Iowa, quarantining continues to be left to a family to determine. Please consult your family doctor for additional guidance regarding your individual family scenario.
