Some schools are piloting a test-to-stay program, where any student or staff member who is identified as a school-based close contact of someone with Covid-19 and remains asymptomatic has the option to participate in “test-to-stay.” CNN reports that federal public health officials have been meeting with states to discuss this strategy for schools, CDC Director Dr. Rochelle Walensky said during a White House virtual coronavirus briefing. This type of policy would prioritize testing as a way to monitor students who may have been exposed to Covid-19, allowing students to continue attending classes if they test negative rather than quarantine, CNN reports.
