Morris Jeff will follow NOLA Public Schools’ Respiratory Virus Guidelines for the current school year. In March 2024, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention modified COVID-19-specific guidance to Respiratory Virus Guidance for individuals with a range of common respiratory viral illnesses, including COVID-19, flu, and RSV. NOLA-PS will continue to assess its safety guidelines based on information from the CDC and the Louisiana Department of Health. Per CDC recommendations, the guideline overview includes the following:
If You Get Sick, Stay at Home — As much as possible, you should stay home and away from others until at least 24 hours after both:
- Your symptoms are getting better overall, and
- You have not had a fever (and are not using fever-reducing medication)
When Resuming Normal Activity — Use added prevention strategies over the next five days, such as taking more steps for cleaner air, enhancing your hygiene practices, wearing a well-fitting mask, keeping a distance from others, and getting tested for respiratory viruses.
