Tip: @GovParsonMO & @HealthyLivingMo are expected to announce new guidelines for students/schools tomorrow. One change I’m hearing: students will no longer need to quarantine if the infected person they came into contact with was wearing a mask.

In an email sent to all superintendents, the administration says this will be “a very important briefing” and would “advise or suggest” they all plan to listen. #moleg

Since getting this tip, I’ve been doing some digging. It appears Missouri won’t be breaking ground. North Dakota has the same guidance: https://www.health.nd.gov/sites/www/files/documents/Files/MSS/coronavirus/Guidance/Mask_Use_Close_Contact.pdf

“Close contacts will still need to be quarantined for 14 days from their last exposure unless both the infected person and close contact were wearing a mask at all times during the exposure, this would exempt the contact from being quarantined”
