Quarantine Due to Travel and Transfer
Tiverton Public Schools discourages travel during this time. If a student/staff member travels to a high risk area listed on the TRAVEL RESTRICTION LIST BY STATE with a positivity rate of COVID-19 greater than 5%, you are required to self-quarantine for 14 days while in Rhode Island. As an exception, you may provide proof of a negative test for COVID-19 that was taken within 72 hours prior to arrival in Rhode Island. In addition, students who transfer into the school district from a high risk area will also need to quarantine for 14 days. If you receive a test during your quarantine in Rhode Island and get a negative test result, you can stop quarantining. However, you still need to self-monitor for symptoms of COVID-19 for 14 days, wear a mask in public, and follow physical distancing guidelines. You also must quarantine while waiting for a negative test result. Quarantining for 14 days is always preferred over relying on a negative test result as quarantining is the best way to limit the possibility of spreading COVID-19.
