COVID-19 Update

COVID-19 Guidance

On March 1, 2024, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) released updated Respiratory Virus Guidance in response to the decreasing risk that COVID-19 poses to the population. While COVID-19 remains a concern, its threat has lessened.

The New Jersey Department of Health (NJDOH) has aligned the Respiratory Virus Guidance for K-12 Schools, Youth Camps, and Early Care and Education Programs (April 16, 2024) with CDC’s updated Respiratory Virus Guidance.

The updated guidance offers a unified approach to preventing the spread of common viruses like COVID-19, influenza, and RSV. Since these viruses share transmission methods, symptoms, and prevention strategies, the CDC provides clear steps to limit spread when individuals are ill, regardless of the specific virus.

NOTE: Tenafly Public Schools coordinates closely with local and state public health officials for any additional guidance. Should you have any additional questions, please reach out to your school principal or school nurse.
