The Bulloch County Schools have adapted their COVID-19 precautions to the new Centers for Disease Control and Prevention guidelines, allowing some students, teachers and others who previously would have stayed home for 14-day quarantines to return after seven or 10 days.
From the Aug. 17 start of classes for the current school year through Wednesday morning, the school district, now with 10,891 students and 1,594 employees, has seen 189 confirmed positive COVID-19 cases. Individuals actually diagnosed with the coronavirus are not sent into “quarantine” but instead are required to “isolate” for at least 10 days. That part hasn’t changed.
