Out of precaution at this time the Elementary schools within the Diocese of Brooklyn will require all Faculty, Staff and Students to follow the CDC Travel guidelines for vaccinated and non-vaccinated individuals for International Travel 

This will apply to ALL International and Domestic Travel.

All air passengers coming to the United States, including U.S. citizens and fully vaccinated people, are required to show a negative COVID-19 test result no more than 1 day before travel or documentation of recovery from COVID-19 in the past 3 months before they board a flight to the United States.

International Travelers

• Find a U.S. COVID-19 testing location near you. 
• Self-monitor for COVID-19 symptoms; isolate and get tested if you develop symptoms.
• Follow all state and local recommendations or requirements after travel.

If You Are NOT Fully Vaccinated

In addition to the recommendations above:

• If Your Test Result is Positive Isolate yourself to protect others from getting infected.
• Learn what to do and when it is safe to be around others.

If You Recovered from COVID-19 Recently

If you recovered from a documented COVID-19 infection within the past 90 days (regardless of vaccination status), you do NOT need to get a test 3-5 days after travel. People can continue to test positive for up to 90 days after diagnosis and not be infectious to others. You also do not need to self-quarantine after travel. If you develop COVID-19 symptoms after travel, isolate and consult with a healthcare provider for testing recommendations.

Domestic Travel: 

Quarantine is not required following Domestic Travel. All Domestic travelers should adhere to the following recommendations:

• Monitor your child for COVID-19 symptoms; isolate and contact your Healthcare provider if your child develops symptoms. 
• Keep your child home if they are sick and experience any COVID-19 symptoms, including fever, chills, new cough, new loss of taste or smell, and new shortness of breath, even if the symptoms are mild. 
• Mild symptoms such as a runny nose or backache have been mistaken for other illnesses and have turned out to be COVID-19. 
• Call the school to report any illness or positive test results for COVID-19. 

 

Please Note: These guidelines are subject to change as the pandemic continues to evolve and information is shared by city and state agencies.
