UF’s Sarah McKune found that many high school students on day nine or later of their COVID-19 quarantine tested positive for the virus. The findings suggest that quarantined students should be tested upon returning to the classroom.
“The study underscores the importance of testing. If you do no testing and send kids back between days 10 to 14 of quarantine, a substantial portion of high school kids will go back to school infected. High school students may need to fall under different policy guidelines than elementary school students,” McKune said.
