INDIANAPOLIS (AP) — Indiana schools and child care programs will no longer have to conduct contact tracing or report COVID-19 cases to the state Department of Health as of next Wednesday.
State health officials said Thursday that students who are exposed to a COVID-19 case also won’t have to quarantine, regardless of their vaccination status or whether their schools require masks.
They say schools are still expected to work with local health departments in the event of an outbreak or cluster. Information should also be shared with students’ families when a case is identified so that parents can monitor their children for symptoms.
