PSD Health and Wellness: When Can My Students Return to School after Testing Positive for COVID-19?

  • Students may return to school as soon as Day 6 if:
    • They are fever-free (without using fever-reducing medication) for at least 24 hours, and other symptoms are improving.
    • Are willing and able to wear a well-fitting mask at school and school activities for at least Days 6-10.
  • There is no requirement for students to test negative before returning to school. However, CDPHE Isolation Guidelines do offer an alternative timeline for masking at school. After Day 6, if a student tests negative twice, two days apart, they can attend school without a mask after their second negative test. Please note: If the student starts this testing process and continues to test positive after Day 10, they should continue to mask at school until the student has two negative tests, two days apart.
