Ending isolation
If you are a staff member or student from N.J. Macpherson School, please follow previous advice regarding isolation. If you, or someone in your household developed COVID-19, you should review isolation requirements with your local public health unit.
If you were a contact at any exposure site, your isolation period has ended. We continue to recommend a COVID-19 test as you end isolation, but the test is not required.
