TULSA, Okla. -
New guidelines from Governor Kevin Stitt’s office mean students may not have to be quarantined if they’re exposed to COVID-19 in the classroom, as long as they don’t have symptoms and were wearing a mask.
The recommendations are drawing strong reactions from some parents on both sides.
Some parents still navigating distance learning hope it gets them back to class, but others tell me it will only make COVID-19 cases worse.
The new guidelines from Stitt mean that school districts offering in-person learning can skip a two-week quarantine if someone in a classroom or riding a school bus is potentially exposed to COVID-19, so long as they were wearing a mask and not showing symptoms. That does not apply to activities outside the classroom, like sports.
