Quarantine After Exposure
Quarantine decisions for students and employees who may have been in close contact with someone who tested positive for COVID-19 will be made with the county health department.
- Quarantine at home if you are exposed to COVID-19 and are not fully vaccinated. We consider anyone who was within 6 feet of someone who has COVID-19 for at least 15 minutes, to be exposed.
- Under the standard quarantine protocol, you can end quarantine:
- On day 10 without testing. You can end quarantine 10 days after the last time you had close contact with the person who tested positive if you don’t have symptoms of COVID-19.
- On day 7 with a negative test result. You must wait at least 7 days after your exposure to be tested. You can end quarantine if your test is negative and you do not have any symptoms of COVID-19.
- If you are exposed to someone at school who tests positive for COVID-19, you can continue to come to school if:
- You are fully vaccinated.
- Both individuals were wearing masks at the time of exposure.
- You have tested positive for COVID-19 in the last 90 days.
- You were wearing a N95 or KN95 mask at the time of exposure.
- OR IF YOU:
- Wear a mask at school for 10 days.
- Wear a mask at school for 7 days and then get tested. If you test negative on day 7 you don’t have to wear a mask anymore.
- For more information, please visit the State of Utah Coronavirus K-12 School Recommendations page.
- “Test-to-Play” - There are no “test-to-play” protocols in place for extracurricular activities.

All students must “test-to-stay” if they wish to remain at school, even those who are fully vaccinated.

Dear Parents,
As we prepare for the return of students, teachers and staff, Jordan School District has received and reviewed guidelines from state and county health departments regarding COVID-19 protocols for schools.
Below is a summary of protocols we plan to follow. We hope this will help parents make decisions and plans that are best for their individual families.
- Face Masks – Face masks are not required in Jordan School District schools or offices. Individual choices regarding masks should be respected. State and County Health Department recommendations regarding masks can be found at the following link:

We encourage families to study the recommendations and choose what they believe is best.
- COVID-19 Vaccination – Students and employees in Jordan School District are not required to be vaccinated. Individual choices regarding vaccinations should be respected. State and County Health Department recommendations regarding vaccinations can be found at the following link:
coronavirus.utah.gov/education/
