According to the Danbury Public School District draft plan for re-entry, if a student, staff member, or visitor has been present in school has a confirmed diagnosis of COVID-19, several steps will be taken.  Schools will likely implement a short-term closure of 2 to 5 days or longer regardless of community spread if an infected person has been in a school building, based on CDC recommends.  This initial short-term dismissal allows time for the local health officials to gain a better understanding of the COVID-19 situation impacting the school. This allows the Superintendent, in consultation with the local health officials, to determine appropriate next steps, including whether an extended dismissal duration is needed to stop or slow further spread of COVID-19.
