Public Health Advisory
4/29/21
..continuing COVID-19 restrictions on
individuals, with no end in sight, including long-
term use of face coverings and withdrawal from
social and recreational gatherings pose a risk of
adverse and unintended consequences
…due to COVID-19 wide-spread vaccine
availability, fully vaccinated individuals should
no longer be advised to wear face coverings or
avoid social and recreational gatherings

Updated CDC Guidance for Vaccinated
Individuals 5/16/21
• https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-ncov/vaccines/fully-
vaccinated.html
• Fully vaccinated people can resume activities without wearing a
mask or physically distancing, except where required by federal,
state, local, tribal, or territorial laws, rules, and regulations, including
local business and workplace guidance.

prevention strategies outlined in the current version of CDC’s
Operational Strategy for K-12 Schools for at least the remainder of
the 2020-2021 academic school year.
15Seminole County
Public Schools www.scps.us
Face Coverings/Masks
• Decision Point: When will face masks be recommended in
schools?
• Recommendation:
• Guidance was consistent that vaccinated individuals should not
have to mask and that vaccines are highly effective at protecting
from illness.
• Strongly encourage that unvaccinated individuals continue all
protective measures available, including masking.
• Recognize that everyone will need to make determinations for
their own unique situation and should create atmosphere of
respect for all.
16Seminole County
Public Schools www.scps.us
Face Coverings/Masks (cont.)
• Some staff members may be required to wear personal protective
equipment (PPE) when working with symptomatic students/staff or

requests.

teams, with involvement of School Board Nurse, for
individualized accommodation needs.
17Seminole County
Public Schools www.scps.us
Social Distancing
Social Distancing in classroom and campus educational settings is one
prevention strategy to utilize, as feasible, with other key mitigation
strategies to implement healthy campuses:
• Currently there are no restrictions or recommendations for social
distancing for vaccinated individuals.
• Updated guidance removed recommendations for plastic shields or
dividers
• Provide social distancing floor/seating markings in waiting and
reception areas.
• Provide signage in restrooms and locker rooms to remind for proper
social distancing.
• Provide reminders to staff and students to stay at least 3 feet apart,
when possible, indoors.
18Seminole County

Social Distancing
Recommendations (continued)
• Schools will have a combination of both vaccinated and
unvaccinated individuals.
• The reopening team recognizes the positive educational
impact of collaborative, project-based learning.
• Schools and teachers should plan for both small group and
collaborative work experiences during the day.

groups/lab partners/etc. in the event of contact tracing
needs.
19Seminole County

Screening for Illness and Isolating Symptomatic
Individuals
• The district and schools will communicate information to parents
and employees about the symptoms of COVID-19 and ask them to
self-screen before coming to school. Students and employees
exhibiting symptoms of COVID-19 without being otherwise
explained, are prohibited from coming to school, and if they do
come to school, they should be sent home immediately.
• Each school with have a designated clinic staff member and back
up staff trained in best practice procedures for isolating students
who present with symptoms related to COVID-19. These best
practice procedures include providing student with a surgical
mask, socially distancing the student away from other persons,
donning of PPE by clinic staff working with symptomatic student,
isolating the student until parent/guardian can pick up.
Parent/guardian should enter the building to sign student out and
leave immediately.
