To avoid a 14 day quarantine (for any traveler coming to New York State from out-of-state, exempting the contiguous states), the new guidelines for travelers to test-out of the mandatory 14-day quarantine are below:

For travelers who were in another state for more than 24 hours:

1. Travelers must obtain a test within three days of departure from that state.

2. The traveler must, upon arrival in New York, quarantine for three days. Should the three days fall on a regularly scheduled work/school day some may be required to use their PTO for these days off.

3. On day four of their quarantine, the traveler must obtain another COVID test. If both tests come back negative, the traveler may exit quarantine early upon receipt of the second negative diagnostic test.

4. Two negative tests must be told to their supervisor and HR prior to returning to school- the actual test results must be uploaded to the Smart Vault portal. 

For travelers who were in another state for less than 24 hours:

1. The traveler does not need a test prior to their departure from the other state, and does not need to quarantine upon arrival in New York State

2. However, the traveler must fill out the traveler information form upon entry into New York State, Follow the link here: https://forms.ny.gov/s3/Welcome-to-New-York-State-Traveler-Health-Form and take a COVID diagnostic test 4 days after their arrival in New York.

3. Negative test must be told to their supervisor and HR prior to returning to school – the actual test results must be uploaded to the Smart Vault portal.

Local health departments will validate tests, if necessary, and if a test comes back positive, will issue isolation orders and initiate contact tracing. The local health department must make contact with the state the traveler came from, to ensure contact tracing proceeds there as well. All travelers must continue to fill out the traveler information form upon arrival into New York State to contribute to New York State’s robust contact tracing program.

Staff will not be allowed to return to school until they have provided two negative COVID tests and may be required to use their PTO days during this time.

The health and safety of our community is dependent on all of us following best practices for the prevention of the spread of COVID 19. It is essential that all members of the community follow our protocols both in and out of school. Each day we are all asked to respond to 5 screening questions. It is essential that each of us respond accurately. While we trust that everyone will answer honestly please be aware of the fact the failure to provide truthful answers may result in disciplinary action.

The State of New York asks that we make you aware that individuals who fail to comply with quarantine order may be subject to a penalty of up to $10,000.
