Most students in Kansas will not be required to wear face masks or be tested regularly for COVID 19 when they return to school this month. Kansas school districts are waiting for updated guidance from the Federal government on curbing the spread of the virus, but most are already easing rules that were put in place early in the pandemic.
Officials for the state’s largest district in Wichita, say students or employees who test positive for COVID should isolate at home for at least five fays or until symptoms resolve and they won’t have to test negative to return to school. Kansas districts no longer notify people who have been exposed to the virus. The CDC is emphasizing the importance of building ventilation to stop the spread of COVID.
