RE-OPENING SCHOOLS
PLAYBOOK

This playbook was created to inform school officials' decision-making around school re-openings. It provides:

  • Concise, at-a-glance strategies to assist school officials in identifying the practices and measures that should be in place to safely reopen during the COVID-19 pandemic.

  • Current mitigation recommendations from the Center for Disease Control (CDC) and the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP), and other expert sources, as well as evidence from the scientific literature.

  • Background on the burden of COVID-19 in school-aged children, how infection prevention measures in the community affect schools, gating criteria, and other countries' experiences.

  • Guidance in how to implement antigen testing, including who to test, how often to test, and how to collect specimens.

  • Information needed to navigate requirements for testing, such as standing orders in your respective state.

  • Suggestions on how to support and facilitate contact investigations by local health departments when a COVID-19 infection is identified in the school community.

We are available immediately for consulting here. Trivedi Consults is offering this playbook at a one-time fee, which includes a one-hour discussion with a senior epidemiologist.
