By: Sheila McCrea - Saturday, January 1, 2022

Doctors said the next six weeks will be some of the most challenging days they've faced during the pandemic.

State health officials in Indiana are are asking schools to follow the new isolation and quarantine recommendations from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).

According to the CDC, they would like students, vaccinated or not, to isolate for five days if they have COVID-19.

Once symptom free, students can return to school, but they have to wear a mask for five additional days. This also means asymptomatic students who test positive can return to school.

Hoosier health officials say they expect another round of updated guidelines from the CDC in the coming weeks. This time specifically targeted towards schools.
